2 Min Read

The Presidency has reacted to threats by the Nigerian Senate to sack underperformin ministers in the face of the current economic recession.

The Senate had threatened quiz the Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun and her Budget and National Planning counterpart, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, on the state of the economy.

However, the Presidency said it would not dabble into the matter as it was directed to the affected ministers in question, according to a top Presidential official.

The official said: “We are not going to engage the Senate on this matter with the ministers involved in the management of the economy because we have a binding pact with the Nigerian people to end corruption and make life better for them.

“The truth of the matter is that President Muhammadu Buhari deeply feels the pains that Nigerians are passing through as a result of the pains inflicted on them through unmitigated corruption and wastefulness of the past and he is working assiduously with his cabinet to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.

“This is not the time for unnecessary rhetoric to please the audience but a time to do serious work to change the landscape and put food on the table for Nigerians.”
