At least, six ministers may quit President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet in October as preparations for the 2015 general elections peak.

The affected ministers are expected to resign their appointments in order to pursue their governorship ambitions on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

As of press time, the ministers who have governorship ambitions in their respective states include Senator Bala Muhammed (Federal Capital Territory), Mr. Labaran Maku (Information), Chief Emeka Wogu (Labour), Mr. Nyesom Wike (State, Education), Dr. Samuel Ortom (State, Trade, Industry and Investment) and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro (State, Defence).

While Muhammed seeks to take over from Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State; Maku intends to replace Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nassarawa State and therefore win the state currently being ruled by the All Progressives Congress to the PDP while Wogu nurses the ambition of succeeding Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State.

Wike is interested in taking over Rivers State from Governor Rotimi Amaechi; Ortom has his eyes on the seat to be vacated by Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State while Obanikoro also plans to take over Lagos State from Governor Babatunde Fashola and the APC.

The President’s Special Adviser on Performance, Monitoring and Evaluation, Prof. Sylvester Monye, is also nursing the ambition of becoming the Delta State Governor after Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.

Their imminent resignation is expected to lead to a major shakeup in the Federal Executive Council.

A Presidency source said the ministers’ exit would lead to the constitution of “election cabinet” by the President.

“Their resignation will come very soon. You know the President will have to fill the vacancies that will be created before the general elections in February 2015. You also know that the Senate must approve nominees.

“It is therefore important that the list be forwarded to the senators before everybody will be engrossed in election matters in their various constituencies,” the source said.

In case.....

Bunch of looser. They should itemised their achievements in this corruption laden administration.

Well let them come we electorate will put them where they belong.

crap

PDP should not allow Nyesom Wike to fly their flag come next election in Rivers state if not,PDP will lose mercilessly.

Labaran Maku is the right guy for Nasarawa state so his victory is already predicted.

Emeka Wogu cannot win Ihejirika in PDP primaries after all that the later did for his people.

FCT minister should be assured by Yaguda and Muazu before he resigns.

Obanikoro is wasting his time and opportunity cos Jimi Abaje is a better man than him,unless PDP are ready to lose Eko again.

Ortorm from Benue will get the PDP ticket as Sen. Mark and Gov. Suswan don't trust Aadoka when he was the Yar'adua cabal chief.

^ Nyesom wike has no opposition in Rivers state. In short, Nyesom Wike is as good as the next governor in Rivers state.

bunch of thieves

A sinking ship of hopelessness. After being mentored in the most corrupt administration in our history, they now want to spread the corruption. God forbid.

Only a dumbass will vote this highly incompetent failures. It is one thing to be a failure, however, it is another to be an incomptent failure! These creatures shall be cast into the abbys where they belong after their colossal failure bids!

After looting,next is power.

The electorate need to ask them of their performance card when they vie for the governorship of their states

sirwilly1: In case.....

In case what ? What do you have to say about his cruel regime ?

EmoBoy: ^ Nyesom wike has no opposition in Rivers state. In short, Nyesom Wike is as good as the next governor in Rivers state.

Barrister Nyesom.Wike is our saviour in Rivers State. He should come back home and redeem his people. He is the only man that can bring the desirable change. He did it in the Ministry of Education, he can do it in Rivers State.

no,they are not losers.they want to rescue their states from evill janjaweeed APC's party

Yes Wike is the man to rescue Rivers State, He has perform excellently well as Minister of Eduction, If you go to any school in Rivers.State only the Federal Schools are descent enough. AC fitted classes.

Please what did he do as Minister of Education?

McWhillion: Please what did he do as Minister of Education?

8 Months ASUU strike

11 Months polythecnic strike

Dominiquez: PDP should not allow Nyesom Wike to fly their flag come next election in Rivers state if not,PDP will lose mercilessly.

i dont think wike can develop a state like rivers considering his performances under d ministry of education,maybe PDP should present someone else.

Labaran Maku is the right guy for Nasarawa state so his victory is already predicted.

yea,labaran maku can liberate nasarrawa state.that state has suffered for so long for lack of good governance.

Emeka Wogu cannot win Ihejirika in PDP primaries after all that the later did for his people.

i agree with u on wogu,he lacks d charisma to develop abia state.abia really needs intervention in all aspect,aba is an eyesore but i dont think ihejirika can rescue abia.being in d military is totally different from from democracy,u can see this through d woeful performance of OBJ,Nyako,jona jang,etc

FCT minister should be assured by Yaguda and Muazu before he resigns.

i have no say on this,its complex.

Obanikoro is wasting his time and opportunity cos Jimi Abaje is a better man than him,unless PDP are ready to lose Eko again.

koro should allow abaje to defeat the APC mercilessly, if koro contest,he'll still lose.

Ortorm from Benue will get the PDP ticket as Sen. Mark and Gov. Suswan don't trust Aadoka when he was the Yar'adua cabal chief.

benue needs a magical leader.anytime i visit the state,i see windows of opportunities but the governors(past and presence) have done nothing about it.

obanikoro was mentored by ur mini god&Tinubu,so i'm not suprised

After looting money in FCT,denying FCT staff their promotion for the past 4yrs and embezzled 13thmonths arrears..He will now go and contest in his state with all the money.God will judge him.

well,even though i dont support amaechi's recent idealogy of talking down on d president,i know he has done well in d area of education.those secondary schools he built are world class.
i just wished PDP present another candidate and not wike

obanikoro will be disappointed again Cos' Ambode is more grassroots than koro .obanikoro is just wasting his money and time in politics of Lagos state .d good people of Lagos state will not vote for koro Cos' what he knows is just to sown fake DSS cloth to thugs in Lagos state.

labaran maku and nyesom woke will be defeated also in nasarawa and rivers state .PDP has no grassroots politian for d 2 state almakura will win convincely in nasarawa state come 2015 elections amechi av already proposed for ogoni candidate for his successor in rivers state.woke,koto,labaran maku and other candidate are just wasting their time.

Koro wants to come for another round of disgrace but wait o if Koro leaves who will help them bring their soldiers lmao.

This lecturer's mouth smells a lot. Gosh. Why do Ibos love garlic

McWhillion: Please what did he do as Minister of Education?

The question should be what has he not done? He has transformed our educational sector. The man is the real deal.
