Where else should President Tinubu spend his vacation?
“The president made 1200 bags of fertiliser available to every senator in this country. The president also made 600 bags of fertiliser available to every member of the House of Representatives.
“Fertiliser distribution is aimed at assisting our farmers. It is not something for political parties; it is not something for any other person except farmers.
“I felt I needed more than 1200 bags for my district, I looked for money and got additional bags to make it 5000. So today, by the grace of God, we have 5000 bags of fertiliser for distribution to farmers in Ekiti Central Senatorial District.”
The lawmaker warned the beneficiaries against selling the farm input.
“Do not collect it if you do not use it. The government is encouraging everybody to be involved in farming and give necessary assistance to farmers,” he added.

JUST IN: EFCC Arrests Edo Accountant General, Other Officials Days To Obaseki’s Handover
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the Edo State Accountant General, Julius O. Anelu, and four other officials who are signatories to the state government accounts.....Read Full Article>>
This comes just 11 days before Governor Godwin Obaseki hands over to Governor-elect Senator Monday Okpebholo.
According to sources, the five officials were taken into custody on Thursday and are currently being held at the EFCC’s Benin office.
The arrests are believed to be a preventive measure to forestall last-minute withdrawals from the state account, following a budget allegedly approved by the Edo State House of Assembly about two weeks ago.
The aftermath of the arrests has seen government activities grind to a halt, with the state unable to pay salaries, pensions, and other statutory payments, including security bills.
The EFCC plans to keep the arrested officials in custody until November 12, when Obaseki’s tenure officially ends.
