The Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, said on Thursday his principal’s to ministers and other political appointees seeking elective positions in 2023 to resign came at the right time, IgbereTV reports
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday directed the members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) and other political appointees with designs in next year’s elections to leave their posts latest by May 16.
A few hours later the quartet of Godwill Akpabio (Niger Delta), Rotimi Amaechi (Transportation), Ogbonnaya Onu (Science and Technology) and Emeka Nwajiuba (Education) left the cabinet.
Adesina stated this when he featured in a Channels Television programme, Politics Today.
He said: “That was the right time for it. When it is time for something it is done. When it is done prematurely, it is not the right time.”
“I read that the Minister of Science and Technology has resigned, but I cannot confirm that any of them has indeed resigned.
“Because their resignation letter will not come directly to the President, but to the SGF.
“It is the SGF that will confirm. If the SGF has not transmitted such to the president, how would I know?
