In a bid to check intrusion into the Council chambers, President Bola Tinubu has read riot act to those who butt in during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings and ordered security men to check the trend.

Affected by the directive, Persecondnews gathered, include his son, Seyi Tinubu and other aides who are not authorized to sit in the chamber, who he observed, have been walking in and out of the Council chambers.

Tinubu reeled out names of those who are to attend such meetings apart from the ministers and other cabinet members.

They are the Special Advisers on Policy Coordination, Ms. Hadiza Usman,  Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga; his Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola and his Private Secretary, Damilotun Aderemi.

He said: “Last week, I noticed the undue access of people sneaking in and out of this council.

“I saw the photograph of my son, Seyi, sitting behind. That is not acceptable. I will announce to you those people who are supposed to be here,” he said and he went ahead to read out their names.

“Special Advisers on Policy Coordination, Ms. Hadiza Usman, Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, my Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola and my Private Secretary, Damilotun Aderemi.

“Those are people who are granted an exception to be here when we’re conducting the business of the nation. Unless I sent for you, don’t come, make it clear,” Tinubu said.
