BREAKING: Tinubu received Lalong’s resignation letter as minister

President Bola Tinubu has received the resignation letter of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong.

After his resignation on Monday, he will now proceed to the National Assembly as Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial, a seat he won as affirmed by an appeal court ruling dated November 7, 2023.

“Lalong has resigned. But it was not at the FEC meeting itself. It must have been after the meeting because, if it were earlier, the President or SGF would have announced it during the meeting,” a presidential aide disclosed.

As at the time of filling this report, no official statement has been seen by Blueprint on his resignation.
