FCT, Abuja - Ibrahim Modibbo, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has challenged President Bola Tinubu to match words with actions by sacking a significant number of the ministers in his cabinet.
Modibbo, a former director of media and communications to ex-presidential hopeful, Nuhu Ribadu, asserted that Tinubu has three more years to change the dynamics of governance.

'Tinubu should've sacked several ministers' - Modibbo
The ruling party member also described Nigeria’s economic team led by Wale Edun (minister of finance), as “just newspaper tigers”.
Modibbo said in a recent interview with Arise News, monitored by Legit.ng:
"People around the president are giving him wrong advice. If I were the president today, I would have sacked almost virtually all the ministers and what have you. The president needs to get new people and new advisers. Because some of this economic team, they are just newspaper tigers, as far as I am concerned.
"They can only limit themselves to the textbook econometrics without looking at the proper inventory of Nigeria's economic system, looking at the poor masses as a ladder.”
Legit.ng reports that about 44 ministers currently serve under President Tinubu.
Modibbo’s call is coming at a time when the Nigerian economy is facing serious challenges and prices of food, goods, and services have reached worrying heights.
Presently, there is a social challenge as drivers queue for hours, hoping to snap up drops of fuel available at petrol stations around Lagos, Abuja, and other cities around the country.
The fuel crisis has recently deepened after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) increased its pump price from N617 to N897 per litre. Despite reassurances from state officials that the crisis would have resolved itself quickly, the last few weeks have been tough.
