Pressure Mounts on President Tinubu to Sack APC Finance Ministers Over Alleged Sabotage

Pressure is mounting on President Tinubu to dismiss APC finance ministers Wale Edun and Uzoka-Anite over their alleged failure to comply with directives and resolve financial issues. The League of Democrats called for their removal in a statement signed by Babajide Oyewole and Rowland Okonkwo.

The group accuses the ministers of sabotaging economic revival efforts, damaging Nigeria's image, and discouraging potential investors. Specific names like Nyesom Wike, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and Dave Umahi are mentioned in the context of retaining or reshuffling positions.

The group highlights the impact of non-payment to contractors on the economy and warns of potential negative effects on APC's electoral prospects in 2027.
