President Bola Tinubu’s administration, according to Godswill Akpabio, is committed to upholding the law.
On Wednesday, during Lateef Fagbemi’s ministerial screening in the Senate, Akpabio made the comment.
“What will your option be if the government you serve desecrates the Constitution and does not obey court orders?” Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe had questioned Fagbemi during his interview.
In response, Akapbio criticized Abaribe for raising the issue and emphasized that Tinubu’s administration had committed to obey the law.
According to Akapbio:
“I have a problem with the question; are you saying a government that has given so much to the rule of law would desecrate the Constitution? A government that swears to uphold the Constitution?
“This is preemptive; this government is not even up to two months old; you should be talking about the previous government, not this one. This government is a corrective regime. This government of Bola Tinubu is out to correct Nigeria and believes in the rule of law.”
