In a sweeping
decision that has sparked both political debate and public interest, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dismissed three high-profile members of his cabinet. The affected Ministers, include Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, the Minister of Defence; Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence; and Adebayo Adelabu, the Minister of Power. The decision was formally announced by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.
According
to Onanuga’s statement, the removal of the two Defence ministers was primarily motivated by their inability to curb the growing insecurity and frequent killings plaguing various regions of Nigeria. Likewise, the Minister of Power was dismissed for failing to deliver tangible improvements in the country’s electricity supply after nearly two years in office.
