Buhari meets Amaechi, Ngige, Malami, others in Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with some of the ministers seeking elective positions in the 2023 general election.

The meeting is coming barely two days after Buhari directed all cabinet members vying for elective offices in 2023 to resign before May 16, 2022.

The President’s directive was disclosed by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, while briefing State House correspondents on the outcome of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday.

Ministers at the meeting with President Buhari on Friday include Rotimi Amaechi (Transportation), Chris Ngige (Labour and Employment), Godswill Akpabio (Niger Delta Affairs), Abubakar Malami (Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation).

Others are Ministers Ogbonnaya Onu (Science, Technology and Innovation), Paullen Tallen (Women Affairs), Uche Ogar (State for Mines and Steel), Timipre Sylva (State for Petroleum Resources), and Tayo Alasoadura (State for Niger Delta Affairs).
