Dino Melaye, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has asked President Bola Tinubu to disclose the reason for the removal of the minister of finance, Wale Edun.
GISTSMATE MEDIA earlier reported that Tinubu approved a minor reshuffle of the Federal Executive Council, removing the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, from their cabinet positions.
A statement on Tuesday by the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yomi Odunuga, said the development was contained in a memo signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
According to the memo, Taiwo Oyedele has been appointed as the new Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy.
Also appointed is Dr. Muttaqha Darma as Minister-designate for Housing and Urban Development.
The presidency was, however, mum on the reason for the sudden cabinet reshuffle.
Reacting, Dino, in a post on his official Facebook page, questioned if the development was due to the sacked Minister’s inability to cover up alleged stolen funds.
He wrote, “Mr President, when Ministers are sacked in civ@ilised climes, the government must explain why they are sacked.
“Was the minister of Finance removed because he could not cover up the stolen 24 billion dollars (34 trillion naira) diverted from our revenue? World Bank no dey lie. SDM”.
