Minister of Information

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the President has full knowledge of all the activities of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo saying there is “so much trust” between the number 1 and 2 citizens of Nigeria.
The Minister, who indicated that the Acting President keeps in touch with President Muhammadu Buhari on a daily basis, said this in an interview on Politics Today on Channels Television.

While fielding questions regarding the president’s support of the Acting President, Mohammed said President Buhari is in support of the meetings the Acting President is having with leaders of the North and South East amid growing tension in both regions, adding there was no concern about that.

He said, “The Acting President is daily in touch with Mr President so I am very confident that Mr President is in the full know of what the Acting President is doing and there is so much trust between the acting president and the president. I don’t think there should be an area of concern at all.”

On the calls for the restructuring of Nigeria, Mohammed responded that that was not a priority for the government.

He said, “I have said at several fora that the priority of government right now is to keep this government one and safe. The priority is to revamp the economy and the priority of this government right now is to ensure that we fight corruption and that we put this country on a very stable footing. The issue of restructuring might come later but right now it is not on our front burner.”
