FCT, Abuja – Abdullahi Gwarzo, the sacked minister of state, federal ministry of housing and urban development, expressed gratitude to his “mentor”, President Bola Tinubu, for the opportunity to serve.
Recall TimesNow.com.ng reported that President Tinubu sacked Gwarzo and four other ministers from his cabinet.
The presidency said the dismissal is part of “eight far-reaching actions to reinvigorate the administration’s capacity for optimal efficiency pursuant of his (President Tinubu’s) commitment to deliver on his promises to Nigerians.”
Lola Ade-John (tourism), Professor Tahir Mamman (education), Jamila Bio Ibrahim (youth), and Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye (women minister) are the other sacked ministers.
In a statement shared on his known X (formerly Twitter) handle, Gwarzo, a one-time deputy governor of Kano state, said he remains committed to supporting Nigeria’s progress, even outside government.
He wrote:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Kennedy Ohanenye, the sacked minister of women affairs, promised to continue to play her part to ensure Nigeria prospers.
The Anambra-born All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart also thanked Oluremi Tinubu, the first lady, “for her invaluable guidance and support” during her (Uju Kennedy’s) one-year tenure.
