President Bola Tinubu is reportedly preparing to dissolve his cabinet within the next three weeks, with at least eight ministers likely to be impacted by the impending reshuffle.
The move comes as the president seeks to address growing concerns over the country’s worsening economic conditions and the performance of key officials in his administration.
According to a trusted source, Tinubu has become increasingly worried about the ability of certain ministers to effectively tackle the rising hardship faced by Nigerians. The president, who is mindful of the 2027 elections, is said to be reassessing the capabilities of his cabinet members to ensure they are equipped to deliver on his administration’s promises.
Among those expected to be affected are prominent figures, though specific names remain undisclosed. Sources close to the presidency indicate that the president may replace some influential political figures with technocrats who have the expertise and commitment to implement his policies effectively.
The source added that Tinubu is not hesitant about removing high-profile ministers, regardless of their political standing or influence.
“There is no pressure on the president to retain big names in his cabinet. He is focused on getting the job done, and anyone not delivering will be replaced,” the source stated.
However, it has been revealed that some ministers, using their regional influence, are attempting to exert pressure on the president to avoid being ousted. This internal resistance could complicate the reshuffle, but sources say the president is determined to push ahead with his plans.
“He’s going to sack ministers for sure. He already has names and has shared them with a few trusted allies. At least eight ministers will go, both junior and senior,” the source continued.
There is also speculation that suspended Minister Betta Edu could return to the cabinet, provided she is cleared of fraud allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Additionally, a former Lagos State governor may be among the new appointees, signaling a shift toward fresh faces capable of addressing the country’s challenges swiftly.
The reshuffle is expected to take place in the coming weeks as Tinubu seeks to realign his administration in preparation for the road ahead.
