Tinubu is fully in charge of Aso Rock – Presidency

Sunday Dare, Special Adviser on Public Communication and Orientation to President Bola Tinubu, has debunked the rumours of a cabal in Aso Rock.

He declared that President Bola Tinubu remains fully in control of the nation’s governance.

He spoke on Channels TV, saying the term “cabal” had been misapplied to individuals who, due to their key roles, hold regular briefings with the President.

According to him, these persons are simply essential advisors who provide critical information for decision-making.

“I think we’ve become so comfortable with the idea of the cabal, and you must understand how the idea of the Cabal, the people they call the Cabal, are the people that are holding the key sectors of the economy.

“These are people who are advisors, who must advise the President on trends, who must put critical data in front of him, and they have access to him.

“The Minister of Finance, for instance, sees him (Tinubu) on a constant basis to show him all the indicators so that they can see it; they must have constant meetings,”he said

Dare stressed that the President is fully in charge and has demonstrated this repeatedly, citing Tinubu’s decision to cancel the Central Bank of Nigeria’s cybersecurity tax as a clear example.

“The President is 100 per cent in charge and he has always been from Day One, and he has shown it when the CBN cybersecurity tax came up, the President cancelled it because he dealt with what the facts are.”
