Maku, who made a farewell remarks on behalf of six other ministers that were expected to resign their appointments to go and contest the governorship election in their states, said that as humans, the ministers must have made one or two mistakes which had never shown on the face of the President.
Other ministers whose names were given as being on their way out are Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health), Chief Emeka Nwogu (Labour and Productivity), Musiliu Obanikoro (State for Defence), Chief Nyesom Wike (State for Education), Chief Samuel Ortom (State for Trade and Investment) and Chief Darius Ishaku (State for Niger Delta Affairs).
The information minister said that for over one year and half the minister have been interacting with President, none of the ministers had ever seen the President’s anger on any issue.
“This is not to say that as humans we never did things that annoy him. We were aware that people have been coming to say all sorts of things about the ministers to Mr. President, but he had allowed us to make our mistakes and correct them as we moved on.”
More facts coming later.
