President Bola Tinubu has reportedly summoned the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, the meeting gains significance amid Tunji-Ojo's alleged involvement in a fraud scandal linked to the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu.
The scandal revolves around a hefty consultancy contract awarded by Edu's ministry to New New Planet Projects Ltd. for the National Social Register, with Tunji-Ojo reportedly connected to the implicated company.
Tinubu's decision to suspend Edu on Monday, citing financial irregularities and mismanagement of public funds, adds a layer of complexity to the unfolding political drama.
