AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN spoke of the weekend in Abuja during the inauguration of the PDP convention committee, an event viewed by party leaders as a vital move toward restoring unity and repositioning the opposition ahead of upcoming elections.

The high-level meeting was attended by several state governors, including HOPE UZODINMA, ALEX OTTI, UMO ENO, DOUYE DIRI, HYACINTH ALIA, PETER MBAH among others.

In a statement issued by Force spokesperson ANTHONY PLACID, the police chief described the circulating claims as inaccurate and misleading, stressing that the directive in question does not involve scrapping units but rather streamlining the number of tactical teams to improve efficiency and oversight. 

The upper chamber said the decision was based on the stark realities of the country and not on emotions or sentiment after due consultation and engagement with principal actors in the country’s communications and power sectors, among others.

The statement added that President TINUBU, has  sent a letter to the Senate President, GODSWILL AKPABIO, requesting the expeditious confirmation of Ambassador Yusuf to replace Professor ABDULLAHI USMAN, who resigned this week, after about 14 months in the post.

While defending the 3.4 trillion naira budget proposal of the ministry, the minister argued that the current funding method is hindering the effective execution of projects under the ministry, adding that over 95 per cent of projects under the Federal Ministry of Works are ongoing, making consistent and adequate capital releases critical to their timely completion.
