Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Orji Uzo Kalu has urged President Bola Tinubu to sack some members of his cabinet.<\/p>\n

Kalu, a former governor of Abia State made the call on Monday while fielding questions on Channels TV\u2019s Politics Today programme.<\/p>\n

The Abia senator claimed that lower-class Nigerians are still suffering, noting that they have not started having the benefit of Tinubu\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

Kalu noted that insurgencies and other security issues all over Nigeria are still making people not to go to the farm.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNigerians in the lower area are still suffering. They have not started having the benefit of the changes President Bola Tinubu has made, the changes are trickling down. It\u2019s going to take another one, two years, and what is causing this? Because the insurgencies and the problems all over Nigeria are still making people not going to the farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people working with the President should be relieved of their duties. Some of them should go, both in security sector and ministers. Some of them should go. President must be courageous enough to sack some of these ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is my advice, most of these ministers, most of them should go \u2013 that is the truth. Some of the security chiefs will also go. There\u2019s no sentiment about redeeming Nigeria, if we really want to redeem.\u201d<\/p>\n
