One Year in Office: PDP Chieftain Lists 5 Ministers Tinubu Should Sack
- Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar, a chieftain of the PDP, has compiled a comprehensive list of non-performing ministers
- The suggestion, made public via Abubakar's social media handle, coincides with increasing scrutiny on Tinubu's government's performance
- In reaction, Nigerians have weighed in on social media, with some calling for a complete overhaul of the cabinet
Kano, Kano -Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has suggested a comprehensive list of non-performing ministers for possible dismissal as the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu marks its one-year milestone.
This, however, is coming at a time when the Tinubu-led government is faced with increasing scrutiny over its performance and promises made during the election campaign.

You would recall that president Bola Tinubu, while speaking to a group of Arewa leaders in Abuja, vowed to sack any under-performing minister in his cabinet.
His words: "I thank the cabinet members for their efforts, but I will relieve any of them of their duties anytime I feel that they are failing Nigerians."
Abubakar lists of 'under-performing' ministers
In this light, Abubakar, however, took to his X handle, on Tuesday, June 4, to make public a proposed list that the president should consider for dismissal.
"Name top 5 non-performing ministers that should be sacked by Tinubu: Minister of Youths, Minister of power, Minster of Marine & Blue Economy, Minster of women affairs, Defence Minister. "
Reactions over the PDP member's list
Nigerians have also taken to their X handles to react to the proposed list by the APC chieftain.
A user by the name Elon Musk, said:
"He should sack all of them and bring in people willing to work and make an impact."
Another user, Lawale Gbeminiyi, said:
"When Tinubu is talking about sacking non-performing ministers, he's referring to ministers with less or no political value. Of course, he can't sack ministers that will enhance his 2027 aspirations.
"So, if you're looking at performance in terms of works, you're looking the wrong way."
2027: Makinde flickers hope for PDP
In another development, Abia-Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, expressed confidence that, by the grace of God, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will form the next central government.
Makinde made this statement on Saturday, June 1, in Umuahia, Abia state, during an event honouring Adolphus Wabara as the substantive chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT).
As the chairman of the occasion, the Oyo governor praised the attendees for coming out to honour one of the region's distinguished sons, describing Wabara as “a donation from Abia state to Nigerians.”
