Emefiele suspension: Tinubu making right decisions, says Ben Bruce
Ben Murray-Bruce, former senator representing Bayelsa East, says President Bola Tinubu is making “the right calls”.
In a Twitter post on Friday, the ex-lawmaker said Nigerians should watch out for Tinubu’s administration.
“President Bola Tinubu is making the right calls. He turned Lagos into the 6th largest economy in Africa, and now he is in charge of the largest economy in Africa. Watch out,” Murray-Bruce tweeted.
Bruce’s comment comes in the wake of the suspension of Godwin Emefiele as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Following his victory at the polls, Tinubu reiterated his commitment to making Nigeria better.
In his inaugural speech, the president declared the petrol subsidy regime over, adding that his administration would unify the foreign exchange markets.
The petrol subsidy removal led to a hike in the pump price of the product across the country.
As a result, organised labour asked workers to embark on strike but the planned industrial action was suspended after meetings with the federal government delegation.
The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) also suspended its proposed strike following the intervention of Tinubu.
The president also intervened in the tussle between the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
TheCable had reported how DSS operatives prevented EFCC officials from accessing their Ikoyi office in Lagos state.
Tinubu had asked the DSS to vacate the EFCC office immediately, saying the agencies would resolve the issues between them amicably.
On Thursday, Tinubu signed the bill on uniform retirement age for judicial officers.
The law extends the retirement age of high court judges — and others — from 65 to 70 years.
The president also signed the electricity bill into law, thereby empowering states, companies and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity.
Tinubu said the devolution of power in the power sector is his administration’s “contribution to developmental projects”.
President Bola Tinubu has announced his intention to leave the presidential villa for a visit to Aisha Buhari, the widow of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, in Kaduna State.
We recall that former president Buhari died on Sunday, July 13, in the United Kingdom.

“What is needed now is politics that can turn our anxieties about life and the future into hope,” the 64-year-old told reporters.
Takaichi, a former internal affairs minister and close ally of slain ex-premier Shinzo Abe, revealed her bid during a meeting with former Prime Minister Taro Aso, now the LDP’s supreme adviser. Click link to continue reading.
Japanese conservative politician Sanae Takaichi on Thursday announced her intention to run for the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), a contest that could make her the country’s first female prime minister, Kyodo News reported.
Takaichi, a former internal affairs minister and close ally of slain ex-premier Shinzo Abe, revealed her bid during a meeting with former Prime Minister Taro Aso, now the LDP’s supreme adviser.
“What is needed now is politics that can turn our anxieties about life and the future into hope,” the 64-year-old told reporters. She is scheduled to outline her policies at a press conference on Friday.
Takaichi is considered one of the leading contenders in the Oct. 4 party election, alongside Farm Minister Shinjiro Koizumi. A Jiji Press poll of 2,000 respondents showed Koizumi ahead with 23.8% support, followed by Takaichi at 21%.
Other expected candidates include Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, former Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, and former Economic Security Minister Takayuki Kobayashi.
The LDP leadership vote was originally scheduled for 2027, the end of Shigeru Ishiba’s three-year term, but was moved up after Ishiba announced his resignation on Sept. 7 following his coalition’s defeat in July’s upper house election.
While stepping down as party president, Ishiba will remain prime minister until the LDP chooses a new leader – a role that in Japan’s political system is effectively equivalent to the premiership.
The atmosphere in River State has significantly stabilized following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to lift the six-month state of emergency that had been in place.
Although the immediate tension has eased, the challenges that Fubara will face from the state assembly and local government are looming large.
These potential conflicts could ignite a new wave of political turmoil, threatening to plunge the state back into chaos. Click link to continue reading.
The underlying issues remain unresolved, leaving many apprehensive about the future of governance in River State.
Tinubu, in a statement he signed yesterday, declared that the emergency rule would end at midnight, clearing the way for Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Nma Odu and members of the State House of Assembly led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule to resume duties today.
The president said he saw no reason for the state of emergency to continue a day longer.
A fresh prophecy from Prophet Julius Okonkwo, a cleric and the presiding pastor of Kingdom Seeker Ministries based in the United States, revealed that the storm is not yet over in Rivers State.
“This jubilation should wait; I am not seeing peace at the moment, no peace, no cohesion; everyone is in a mind game, the storm is not over, and there will be another brutal storm. For Fubara, the battle is not over; he’s not happy, and things won’t favour him. The governor would be in his office with folded arms, eating and refreshing, but he wouldn’t have governing power. He has not been forgiven; only time will tell,” said Okonkwo in his weekly message.
