President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to sack his ministers facing corruption allegations.
Jimoh Ibrahim, senator representing Ondo south made the suggestion while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
Recall that some members of the president’s cabinet face corruption allegations. One of them is the ex-governor of Zamfara State and current Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.
Matawalle who ruled Zamfara between 2019 to 2023 is being accused of N70billion fraud.
Speaking on Wednesday, who is a member of the Appropriation Committee in the Senate, noted that President Tinubu’s ministers are too cold.
The senator said Tinubu has a “very fantastic” strategy but there is no structure and system to give fillip to the strategy.
“You have to dissolve the cabinet and come up with knowledgeable people. The cabinet is too cold and the efforts are not seen,” Ibrahim said.
“Some of them that have been accused of corruption should be dropped immediately.
“If you fail to do that, you will be carrying their burden with you and that will be terrible for our country.
“I can’t see so many of the ministers in the first grade of the box. A lot of them are in the B, C grades.”
Speaking further, Ibrahim, a governorship aspirant in Ondo, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) did not follow its guidelines in the conduct of the Ondo governorship primary.
The senator said ballot papers were not printed for the primary election, adding that the Usman Ododo-led committee changed the collation venue without informing contestants.
“Under the APC guidelines issued to us, copies of which I obtained from INEC, it said open secret ballot but no single ballot paper was printed. How do you now vote?” Ibrahim queried.
“Under the guidelines of our party, they said that when you finish accreditation, you go to vote. After voting, the blue ink will be marked on your right thumb finger but we didn’t have any ballot paper, how do you come by blue ink?”
Lucky Aiyedatiwa, governor of Ondo, was declared winner of the APC governorship primary.
