Saleh Mamman collapsed in Abuja and landed at the hospital yesterday after being told by President Muhammadu Buhari that he had been relieved of his job, Peoples Gazette can report.

Mr Mamman served as power minister since 2019 until he was fired on Wednesday as Mr Buhari conducted a minor redeployment of his cabinet members. He was fired alongside agric minister Sabo Nanono.

“He collapsed yesterday and was immediately hospitalised,” a family source told The Gazette under anonymity. “He wasn’t expecting to be fired so soon.” The nature of Mr Mamman’s ailment was not immediately clarified to The Gazette, and his spokesman did not return a request seeking comments.

The source said Mr Mamman has been quietly receiving treatment at a hospital in Abuja, and The Gazette has withheld the name of the hospital to respect the former minister’s privacy.

Mr Mamman, 63, was said to have been living at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja for more than three weeks on the bills of some powerful interests in the power sector, who were hoping he would still be in the office to be able to award lucrative contracts.

“He has been living permanently at Transcorp Hilton since early August,” our sources said. “His bills were being covered by elements in the power sector who were looking forward to more lucrative contracts before the bad news of his dismissal struck yesterday.”

He also reportedly has plans to run for governor in Taraba by 2023, a claim The Gazette has not been able to independently corroborate.

Karma knows everybody’s address, even if you are homeless, it will still find you

When Buhari was criticized for taking long to appoint his ministers after his swearing-in.He said he wanted to appoint the best ministers.It took him about a year before he selected his ministers.After the selections were published.We found out that it was the same corrupt politicians who have cases before the anti-graft agencies that are in his cabinet.

Give the man 5months from now..he will expose alot.

Eyaaaa.....May God give him and everyone reading this a good health.


That being said, I still document wedding ceremonies in creative ways.

Follow bridal clicks on Instagram and send a Dm for bookings or check my signature. Thank you.

We don't know what is collapsing him o, but so far he is the one collapsing and not our national grid.

The Many Controversies Under Sacked Power Minister

Sale Mamman, the erstwhile Minister of Power, courted many controversies shortly after he assumed office in August 2019....

Sale Mamman, the erstwhile Minister of Power, courted many controversies shortly after he assumed office in August 2019.

First of such was the sacking of the former Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Mrs Damilola Ogunbiyi, over internal issues in December 2019.

More internal crisis continued among the power sector agencies culminating in the removal of the Managing Director of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mr Usman Gur Mohammed in May 2020, a move that was frowned at by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha and generated ripples from labour unions in the power sector.

The erstwhile MD of Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading PLC (NBET), Dr Marilyn Amobi, also had a headlong encounter with the former minister until she was removed in June 2020.

There was also the removal of Prof. James Momoh, Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), in November 2020 for attaining 70 years, earlier than his tenure ending 2022.

Another major crisis during the minister’s reign was the case of missing appointment letters for members of the board of TCN after their appointment in January 2021.

The appointed board members, it was learnt, were to be given their appointment letters from the SGF’s office before they could be inaugurated but sources said while the letters left the SGF office, the board members could not get the letters from the ministry till date.

Under the minister, although power system collapses reduced, there were cases of power tariff hike controversies forcing the government to dialogue with organised labour and consequently reversing the tariff hike in some instances.

Meanwhile, a statement from the ministry’s spokesman, Austin Asoluka, has said Abubakar Aliyu is the new Minister of Power. Engr Aliyu was the former Minister of State Works and Housing.

“His appointment was announced today, after the FEC meeting presided over by Mr President,” the statement noted.

Aliyu has been working with Babatunde Fashola, the current Works and Housing Minister.

Fashola had served as the Minister of Power, Works and Housing from November 2015 to May 2019, before splitting of the ministry after Buhari’s re-election.

He was living permanently in transcorp. Buhari shouldn’t just sack him, he should be investigated

He callpased suddenly like our national grid

Probably there is a major money he is supposed to hammer this week or this month from the office.

instead of buhari to sack himself he is sacking his fellow incompetent folks

Buhari collapsing everything in the country, spits

Off the mic

Weyrey quickly collapsed

Damage control!

Even that walking dead will collapse one day.

Na turn by turn.

This is just too funny The shocker must do deluged him

Incompetent leaders. He collapse because he was expecting heavy kick back from the planned increments in energy. They only know how to suffer masses

That is how failures collapse, very soon the over all failure in the country will collapse too.

So someone cannot do executive comedy as a Minister in Nigeria and the press will keep it secret?

Ok

most politicians cant survive outside office aswear

O shock e bakan
