FCT, Abuja – The spiritual leader of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Friday, October 4, asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately sack Heineken Lokpobiri, the minister of state for petroleum resources (oil).
TimesNow.com.ng reports that Ayodele’s latest call comes amid talks from different quarters that a cabinet reshuffle is imminent.
Tinubu, who had vowed to fire non-performing ministers, has ignored talks about rejigging his cabinet.
In a new statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele stated that Lokpobiri has failed in his responsibility in the oil sector and is one of the public officials responsible for the current hardship in Nigeria.
The outspoken cleric said the minister’s continuous stay in office is a disservice to the nation.
Primate Ayodele’s statement partly reads:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a data analyst, Kolawole Johnson, said the chief of staff (CoS) to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila would be the ”biggest loser” if the dissolution of a cabinet affects him.
Johnson said he was ”shocked” that President Bola Tinubu had not yet dissolved his ministerial cabinet.
