The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has stated that President Tinubu never called himself the Minister of Petroleum, attributing the designation to media misrepresentation.
Onanuga said this in an interview with Channels TV on Sunday in Abuja while speaking on the current state of affairs.
The president’s spokesperson explained that two ministers currently oversee the oil and gas sector, and the president sees no need to label himself a minister.
Accordingly, Onanuga noted that the president supervises all his ministers, and by extension, all ministries are under his authority.
“I think I’ve answered this question somewhere. The President has never called himself the minister of petroleum. You people in the media give him that title. We have two ministers there already. As far as President Tinubu is concerned, there are all ministers.
“The president supervises all his ministers. He is in charge of everything. He’s in charge of all ministries under him,” Onanuga said.
