<h2>The former Chief Executive of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, Babatunde Irukera, has asserted that his silence is not a weakness amidst his sack by President <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/bola-tinubu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bola Tinubu</a>.</h2>
<p>Irukera made this known while responding to an X user who demanded that that he should speak up about an allegation of being sacked due to his inability to effectively perform the duties of his office.</p>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reports that Tinubu had, in a letter to the<a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/28/senate-backs-tinubus-request-to-sack-irukera-as-fccpc-boss/"> Senate, demanded the removal of Irukere as Chief Executive of the FCCPC,</a> based on inefficiency, which was subsequently approved on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The letter added that it has become pertinent to restructure and reposition critical agencies of the Federal Government for efficiency and effectiveness.</p>
<p>Disagreeing with the content of the letter sent to the upper legislative House, an X user @MalachyOdo1 wrote, <em>“At this point, Mr. Irukere has to speak up.”</em></p>
<p>However, Irukera replied on X on Friday, saying he would speak up at the right time.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“In due course. Silence is discipline, not weakness.”</em></p>

<p>Recall that Tinubu had in January <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/08/breaking-president-tinubu-sacks-irukera-okoh-as-ceos-of-fccpc-bpe/">sacked</a></strong> Irukera as the FCCPC boss and the Director-General/CEO of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, Alexander Okoh, with immediate effect.</p>
<p>However, the Presidency said the two heads of two federal government agencies <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/10/irukera-okoh-only-relieved-of-their-duties-not-dismissed-presidency-clarifies/"><strong>were not sacked</strong> or dismissed</a>, as reported in the media.</p>
<p>In a post via his official X handle on January 10, presidential aide, <strong>Bayo Onanuga, </strong>Irukera and Okoh were only relieved of their duties, adding that the search for their successors has begun.</p>
