Ben Murray-Bruce Shares Pre-Presidency Chat with Tinubu
Former lawmaker, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, has revealed details of a private conversation he had with President Bola Tinubu before the 2023 presidential election, stating that the president has fulfilled the promises he made at the time.
Speaking during an interview with TVC News on Friday, Murray-Bruce said he had questioned Tinubu on how he planned to run the economy with a large cabinet.
“I asked him, ‘You are going to have 36 ministers and ministers of state, how are you going to run the economy with over 40 people you don’t even know?’”

According to the former senator, Tinubu replied that he only needed eight people to effectively run the country.
Murray-Bruce noted that the president has since lived up to that assurance.
“He chose the right people, and they have made a difference to the economy. He also shocked me on the first day in office when he said he would deregulate and float the currency. Two years after my question to him, he did exactly what I asked him to do,” he said.
Murray-Bruce, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), defended the administration’s economic reforms, insisting that Tinubu has kept his campaign promises.
