Orji Kalu to Tinubu: Sack some ministers, security chiefs

The senator representing Abia North, Orji Kalu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to sack some ministers and security chiefs.

Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, hinged his advice to the president on inefficiency and lack of impact on Nigeria’s development.

The senator made the call in an interview with Channels Television on Monday, June 2, 2025.

Kalu, who stated that he had assessed Tinubu’s cabinet, urged the president to make “bold decisions” in order to realign his administration with the expectations of Nigerians.

Kalu said: “Some people working with President Tinubu should be relieved of their duties. Some of them should go – both from the security sector and among the ministers.

“President Tinubu must be courageous enough to sack some of these ministers. If he takes my advice – most of these ministers, I’ve appraised them and talked to him privately – most of them should go, and that is the truth.”

The lawmaker stated that some security chiefs should also be relieved of their duties over the level of insecurity in the country.

“If he takes my advice, some of the security chiefs will also go. There is no sentiment about redeeming Nigeria if we really want to relieve Nigeria,” the former governor added.
