Alarmed Tinubu stops interlopers, says you can’t attend without invitation
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
“Unless I sent for you, don’t come,” President Bola Tinubu has thundered, after noticing government officials and family members “sneaking” uninvited into not just Aso Rock but right into Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings where critical decisions of state are taken.
He warned them never to come in without invitation before the commencement of FEC meeting at the Villa in Abuja on Monday.
“Last week, I noticed people sneaking in and out of this council. People had access to this place when they should not have. That is not acceptable,” he said.
“I will announce to you here the people who are supposed to be here.
“Hadiza Usman, Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, Principal Private Secretary and Damilotun Aderemi, Private Secretary.
“These are the people who are granted the exception to be here when we are conducting the business of the nation. Unless I sent for you, don’t come.”

Tinubu directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, and the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Folashade Yemi-Esan, to take note of his directive.
“Unless they are your staff that are included, no one should have access to the FEC meeting, except I have announced their names to you,” he stressed, per Vanguard.
“Let me also say that the planning of an event about the government must be well articulated and followed accurately.”
