Although it just became public on Friday, it is already “a few weeks” since President Muhammadu Buhari decided to let go of Kemi Adeosun as Minister of Finance, SaharaReporters understands.

Two sources close to the government told SaharaReporters on Friday that the UK-born Minister had resigned, but it has now emerged that it was the President who indeed “told Adeosun to go”.

Also, the sack was deliberately made public today to manage public backlash over the President’s decision to remove Matthew Seiyefa as Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to make way for Yusuf Magaji Bichi. Seiyefa hails from Bayelsa State while Bichi is from Kano, prompting widespread condemnation about the concentration of the country’s security apparatus in the hands of northerners.

There were calls for Adeosun’s sacking after an investigation by Premium Times revealed that lawmakers had been blackmailing her into releasing funds, running into billions of naira, because they were aware she skipped the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and then forged an exemption certificate.

Seiyefa, however, was appointed DSS DG in acting capacity in August after then Acting President Yemi Osinbajo sacked Lawal Daura for ordering his men to lay siege to the National Assembly without receiving clearance from the presidency.

“We had got the information since 7am that Buhari had already fired Adeosun,” the government source said.

“But seeing the backlash from the public on the appointment of Bichi as DSS DG, which they had anticipated, they had to make Adeosun’s exit public. I can assure you that Buhari already decided to remove Adeosun before now; she was asked to resign some weeks ago — in August, in fact. The certificate was forged; there is no way to hide it, so to buy some credibility for the government, they just had to let her go.”

We yoruba wont keep quiet any longer. If buhari is to replace her,he must replace her with a yoruba man/woman.


If not then we will do to him what we did to Goodluck.

This is a more plausible reason... to turn people's attention away from the nepotistic appointment of the DG

One of the sign to show he is weak when it matters most.... He has the power to hire and fire but only told her to go cos of paddy paddy matter

Stop making stupid people famous. Buhari had no way of keeping her. Saying he had told her to go somedays back is a fat lie from the pit of hell......... LIARS ASSOCIATION.

You will do to him what you did to Goodluck is not a crime, it's your own right but not me, not my family and not majority of Nigerians. Ok? Racist.

After all the lies & cover up the government did to bury this shameful act Buhari government can only keep on deceiving itself.

The only reason why he could afford to tell her to go is because she's from the south.
Had this been maman daura of dss or even Dambazzau, the minister of interior, the matter will be defended stoutly by Buhari.

Its just best that Buhari dies a sudden death. It might sound harsh but its the only way our democracy and rule can be restored. Has he not made two appointments in the last 24 hours. One is the new DSS boss from his part of the country to oversee the 2019 election, the other is the appointment of his blood cousin as the boss of the printing and minting company, the agency that will be printing the electoral materials and other sensitive electoral documents.
Most people in Nigeria are naive and dont know what this man is up to.
If you get to truly know, you will realize that its only God that can save us as a nation now and it can only be by his sudden unexpected demise, not even sickness cos as long as he's alive, his cronnies and cabal will still be perpetuating their clandestine program

When people start their posts with WE YORUBA, they are nothing but ipob villagers.

look who's asking som1 to quit. he ain't even as qualified as he parades himsef to be.

A lifeless one without WAEC certificate told Kemi Adeosun to go? Is buhari more qualified than Kemi? At least she has WAEC and degree certificates unlike buhari.

IT HAS BECOME CLEAR AS DAY THAT BUHARI WAS NEVER IN SUPPORT OF LAWAL DAURA'S SACK AS DG DSS. A DEVELOPMENT THAT SHOWS THE ATTACK ON NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WAS DIRECTED AND OCHESTRATED BY THE PRESIDENCY.
What the useless govt never anticipated was Osimbajo, then acting President's sacking of Daura after National Assembly fiasco.

i want to know why buhari will sack his partner/superior in crime. are both of them not guilty of same offence /

This lady has simply surrendered to the burden of the failing economy

The certificate scandal news did not break today, so claiming to resign on that issue if just questionable.

Not only few weeks ago.
Buhari told her to resign since January 2018,when he gazed into his mirror and saw that Adeosun would be exposed by Premium Times for NYSC certificate forgery.
So the president told her to resign few weeks ago and she stayed and we are now being told?
This news is fit for cow waste.

We are waiting for Buhari to resign because of his WAEC certificate scandal.

Good

We Yoruba don’t condone immoral behaviors, we will allow Buhari to pick a minister in accordance with the provision of the constitution.

So says an Igboman, one of many who have vowed to destroy Buhari and his government, both physically and psychologically.

Keep up the good propaganda.


Ogun state will certainly be replaced in the cabinet, as all states must be represented in the typical Nigerian fashion of economic waste that is constitutional.

However, there is no rule that says a minister's replacement in a cabinet portfolio must come from the same state.

Obasanjo not going to like this though
