He made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics on Sunday, October 27.
Onanuga said the sacked ministers were politely briefed about Tinubu’s decision before the news was made public.
According to the presidential aide, the assessment was based on the use of technology, asking Nigerians to score the ministers.
“Some people said (they were) sacked. But the president used a milder word – discharged. When he asked them to go on Wednesday, He was very polite and told them about his decision. He thanked them for their services to the country and wished them well. That was unlike what we are used to before, people just being sacked on radio or television.”
