President Tinubu Sacks Ministers of Defence and Power
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed both the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, and Bello Mattawalle, the Minister of State for Defence. Additionally, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has also been sacked.



In a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, it was explained that the dismissal of the Defence ministers was due to their failure to stop the ongoing killings of innocent Nigerians across the country. The statement also indicated that the decision to remove the Minister of Power was based on his inability to improve the power situation over the past two years.


The dismissed ministers have been instructed to hand over government properties to the permanent secretaries in their respective ministries.
