Kalu Urges Cabinet Shake-Up, Says Nigerians Still Suffering

Senator Orji Uzo Kalu has called on President Bola Tinubu to consider dismissing certain members of his cabinet.

The appeal was made during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today program on Monday.

Kalu, who previously served as the governor of Abia State, highlighted the ongoing struggles faced by lower-class Nigerians, suggesting that they have not yet felt the positive impacts of Tinubu’s policies.

He also pointed out that persistent security challenges, including insurgencies across Nigeria, are deterring individuals from returning to farming activities.

He said: “Nigerians in the lower area are still suffering. They have not started having the benefit of the changes President Bola Tinubu has made, the changes are trickling down. It’s going to take another one, two years, and what is causing this? Because the insurgencies and the problems all over Nigeria are still making people not going to the farm.

“Some people working with the President should be relieved of their duties. Some of them should go, both in security sector and ministers. Some of them should go. President must be courageous enough to sack some of these ministers.

“If it is my advice, most of these ministers, most of them should go – that is the truth. Some of the security chiefs will also go. There’s no sentiment about redeeming Nigeria, if we really want to redeem.”
