President Buhari May Fire Ministers At Wednesday’s FEC Meeting

The expected development would see some ministers booted out of the federal cabinet.

As President Muhammadu Buhari may effect a cabinet reshuffle at Wednesday’s federal executive council meeting.

This may not be unconnected with the recent declaration by the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Aisha Alhassan (Mama Taraba) that her loyalty lies with her “godfather” and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar. 

But indications emerged at the weekend that Buhari may strike back in a few days.

Although the president was said to have been contemplating a rejig of his cabinet, the “outright sack of ministers was in doubt”, a reliable source told our correspondent.

“You know PMB has not really been in the country this year; he might have reshuffled before now. But recent episodes have raised the question of how much appointees are committed to their job.

“But with the declaration by Mama Taraba, the president is likely to remove those he feels have underperformed as well as those who are not loyal.
