An unconfirmed report suggests that barring last minute changes, President Muhammadu Buhari will make a major cabinet shake-up in the coming weeks. As a result, palpable fear seems to have gripped some cabinet members
This is coming, barely 24-hours when the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Dino Melaye, called on Buhari to shake up his cabinet, by getting rid of non-performing Ministers.
Buhari will soon reshuffle his cabinet, a presidency source confided, Post Nigeria reports
“Buhari will reshuffle his cabinet soon. Be rest assured that heads will roll,” the source said according to Post Nigeria
“Some of the Ministers are not capable of achieving the change-mantra. As I speak, high profile meetings are going on, to re-organise Buhari’s cabinet”.
In a statement on Sunday, September 4, Senator Melaye had also recommended the sack of three of Buhari’s top officials, adding that he is afraid his constituents could stone him someday, if the current administration continues to fail.
Those Melaye recommended for sack include: Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun; Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo-Udoma, and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele.
Melaye said: “The Finance Minister has not only displayed gross incompetence on the job, she also lacks the basic and rudimentary grasp of economic fundamentals necessary to run a critical sector of the Nigerian economy, like the Finance Ministry.
“It is time for her to go now, and pave way for a qualified and experienced person to steer the Nigerian economy away from the dark woods it has sunk presently, under her stewardship.”
About the Budget and National Planning Minister, the Kogi State Senator said: “To be sure, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma is a very charismatic man, an accomplished Lawyer, and a quintessential gentleman, with a fairly untainted reputation.
“In everyday parlance, he is a good man.
“But the critical job of a Budget and National Planning Minister for a huge country like Nigeria, with her prevailing economic challenges, requires much more than being a good man with a great personality.

“As a Lawyer, accomplished in this field as he is, Udoma’s appointment to that position is nepotism taken to very ridiculous heights; and a classic case of putting round pegs in square holes. It will, and can never fit.
“It is akin to saddling a carpenter with a tailor’s responsibility. The outcome under the circumstances, as has become evidently clear, is bound to be catastrophic for the economy.
“President Buhari must therefore, do the needful now, by relieving Udoma of this huge burden that constitutes a clog to the revival of the Nigerian economy,” he said.
Melaye added, that the CBN Governor was guilty of “policy flip-flops, summersaults, and inconsistencies, which are clear evidence of gross incompetence in the management of the nation’s fiscal and monetary policies.”
“The net effect of this inconceivable ineptitude on the part of Emefiele, is the free fall in the value of the naira, and the total loss of faith and confidence by the international community on the Nigerian economy,” he said.
Melaye, advised President Buhari to “immediately transit from mere rhetoric, to drastic and positive action, in order to save the economy and Nigeria from total collapse.
“The hunger in the land is real, pervasive, widespread, and debilitating for the poor masses”.
