South West Group Demands Finance Minister's Resignation Over Budget Failures

A South West political group has called for the resignation of Nigeria's Finance Minister, Wale Edun, citing alleged failures in budget implementation and fiscal management. The group accused Edun of driving the country into deeper financial distress by not executing the 2025 budget effectively.

Despite government borrowing, the capital budget remains unutilized, leading to infrastructure deficits and public suffering. The group urged President Tinubu to take swift action to restore confidence in the economy and investigate the minister's performance.

The call for resignation underscores concerns about financial mismanagement and policy failures under the minister's stewardship.
