From Hadi Bawa
In a significant press release, the State House debunks unfounded speculations about President Tinubu planning to relocate the Federal Capital to Lagos. The administration addresses the deliberate misinterpretation of recent directives from the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Ministry of Aviation, emphasizing that these decisions do not signal a move of the Federal Capital.
The statement highlights the orchestrated nature of these rumors, dating back to the electioneering period and sponsored by political opponents aiming to thwart Tinubu's presidential aspirations. The administration identifies the instigators as dishonest actors promoting regional and ethnic discord for their gain.
Reaffirming Abuja's status as the Federal Capital, backed by legal provisions, the release clarifies the administrative nature of relocating FAAN to Lagos and the CBN's Department of Banking Supervision. It stresses that these moves are not indicative of a broader shift but rather strategic decisions aligned with the agencies' functions and industry hubs.
The report draws attention to other parastatals, such as NIMASA and NPA, headquartered in Lagos, illustrating the precedent of decentralized agency locations based on mandate. The administration urges against politicizing these administrative decisions, emphasizing their commitment to equitable governance and addressing the needs of every region.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, calls for restraint and condemns the dangerous politics of spreading falsehoods. The administration's focus remains on delivering good governance that positively impacts citizens' lives, while rumor-mongering is deemed a disservice to the nation's collective aspirations.
As the nation faces challenges, President Tinubu's administration stands resolute in its dedication to fostering national unity and meeting the yearnings of Nigerians across all regions.
