Orji Kalu urges Tinubu to sack certain ministers over inefficiency

The Senator representing Abia North in the Senate, Sen.Orji Kalu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to relieve certain ministers and security chiefs of their duties, citing inefficiency and lack of impact on Nigeria’s development.

Speaking during a guest appearance on Channels TV’s Politics Today, on Monday,  Kalu said he had assessed the current federal cabinet.

“Some people working with President Tinubu should be relieved of their duties. Some of them should go — both from the security sector and among the ministers,” he said.

Kalu, a former Governor of Abia State, further advised the President to make “bold decisions” in order to realign his administration with the expectations of Nigerians.

“President Tinubu must be courageous enough to sack some of these ministers. If he takes my advice — most of these ministers, I’ve appraised them and talked to him privately — most of them should go, and that is the truth,” he stated.

He added that several security chiefs also needed to be replaced if Nigeria was to overcome its current challenges.

“If he takes my advice, some of the security chiefs will also go. There is no sentiment about redeeming Nigeria if we really want to relieve Nigeria,” he said.

Addressing the current state of the economy, Kalu acknowledged the President’s reform efforts but noted that the impact had yet to reach the majority of Nigerians.

He warned that while the reforms were underway, the trickle-down effect would take time, and continued insecurity remained a major barrier to economic recovery.
