Buhari’s ministers acting like they own ministries – APC group
May 25, 2020
A pro-All Progressives Congress body, APC Mandate Defenders, has accused some ministers of the Buhari administration of carrying themselves like they own the federal ministries.
They raised the alarm while condemning some ministers’ violation of Nigeria’s Public Service Rules, including the arbitrary sack of parastatal heads.
The group expressed dismay on Sunday in a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary, Ifeanyi Emeka.
DAILY POST recalls a December 2019 instance when the Minister of Power, Sale Mamman, sacked two senior officials within 24 hours.
They are Marilyn Amobi, Managing Director of Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET) and Damilola Ogunbiyi, former Managing Director of Rural Electrification Agency.
Interestingly, President Muhammadu Buhari overruled Mamman in both cases.
In canceling Ogunbiyi’s suspension , the presidency tweeted: “Her resignation effective 31 December 2019 has been accepted to enable her to take up her new UN appointment.”
In a strongly-worded complaint, the APC group recalled that Buhari himself directed that all executive matters be forwarded to him through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
They noted that collaboration will enable the government achieve quicker results, but lamented that certain ministers and heads of agencies were working in contrast at the expense of efficient service delivery.
