The sacked Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Gwarzo, has kicked against his removal from President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.

Gwarzo claimed that he was not guilty of poor performance.

In a cabinet reshuffle on October 23, 2024, Tinubu dismissed Gwarzo alongside four other ministers.

The other dismissed ministers are Minister of Women Affairs, Uju-Ken Ohanenye, Minister of Tourism, Lola Ade-John, Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, and the Minister of Youth Development, Dr Jamila Bio Ibrahim.

Commenting on the development, Gwarzo said the president informed him about the decision to relive him of his duties before the decision was made public.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, the sacked minister said: “I was surprised because I wasn’t found guilty of any wrongdoing or poor performance.


“And I was minister of state, with the senior minister overseeing a large portion of the Ministry’s activities.

“Before the announcement, the President had informed me of his decision.

“He said Kano North was overloaded with political officers, hence the need to strike a balance. We gave our advice, but it was ignored.


“From there, I began to suspect that certain individuals were behind this because, to me, that wasn’t a valid reason.

“If the ministerial slot is indeed meant for Kano Central, we have our 2023 governorship candidate who is also our leader in Kano Central. Why not consider giving him the position?

“Gawuna should be offered the role first, unless he declines, in which case it could be given to someone else.


“All other candidates from Plateau and Zamfara states who contested for the governorships were appointed to positions.”

Tinubu will never come back to rule this country again. He has shown he has no emphaty and that he is wicked person that doesn't care about welfare of the masses. Even Idi amin will be shifting in his grave with this act of him. Adelabu is very useless. Oyetola is not doing anything but he prefer to sack non signicant minister with little oversight.

Kaa4:
A dangerous sense of entitlement is strong in the north such that the believe they own you and you can only survive at their pleasure

slimfit1:
This idiot is praising himself

nesphil:
Keep quite, is tinubu himself not a failure, why didn't he sack himself too

The reshuffling of cabinet was based on political reasons just like the man said and not based on performance, hence he tinubu himself should have been sacked by now.
