The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has described President Muhammadu Buhari resort to sacking the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sabo Nanono, and his Power counterpart, Saleh Mamman, as ludicrous and an attempt to cover up for his failures in office.
In a statement by the Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan, the party says it is also investigating the real reason behind their sack.
The party however asserts that the alleged inefficiency of the Buhari administration is a product of what it describes as the President Buhari’s myopic and divisive approach to governance.

The PDP posits that even if the best hands are recruited, they will be contaminated by incompetence, impunity, disregard to rules, divisiveness and corruption that have become the hallmark of the APC and its administration.
The party calls on President Buhari and the APC to note that Nigerians are not swayed by the sack of the ministers but are eagerly awaiting the exit of the Buhari Presidency and the APC come May 29, 2023, as there is no hope in sight under their purview.
Meanwhile, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for relieving two ministers in the federal cabinet of their appointments.
In a statement issued in Abuja by its Secretary General, Willy Ezugwu, the CNPP urged President Buhari to “hasten action in overhauling his cabinet as there are many underperforming ministers as well as heads of agencies and parastatals still in government”.
According to the umbrella body of all registered political parties and political associations in Nigeria, “like we have constantly advised Mr. President to replace some non-performing members of his cabinet, we also urge Mr. President to replace some of his advisers.
“For us, the President’s information managers, including the Minister of Information and Culture, Chief Lai Mohammed and the presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, who have done their best should immediately take a bow and go home.
“The CNPP believes that there could still be areas the President can salvage in terms of performance by his administration if his cabinet is urgently rejigged to place square poles in square holes.
“And, beyond redeployment of some already spent ministers, the CNPP urges President Buhari to shop for young technocrats and more innovative citizens, even outside his party, for appointment to ensure that he succeeds in the remaining less than two years of his tenure”, the CNPP counselled.
