Ministers not sacked for weak performance – Presidency

The Presidency has clarified that President Muhammadu Buhari did not sack two members of his cabinet because of their weak performance.

President Buhari’s media adviser, Femi Adesina, made the clarification when he featured as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday.

“If you look at the President’s statement, in no place will you see that; not at all. In no place will you see those words that performance was weak, he didn’t say that,” he said.

“Rather, he said he had called them personally to thank them for their services to the country and so, they needed to move on to other things and he replaced them; in no place did he say that their performance was weak.”
