President Bola Tinubu May Reshuffle Ministers for the Second Time Since October 2024: Wike to Defence, Bello Matawalle to Step Down — Reports
Reports indicate that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may be planning a cabinet reshuffle. Nyesom Wike could move from FCT Minister to Minister of State for Defence, while Bello Matawalle might step down from his Defence portfolio, possibly to be replaced by a former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State. Other ministers may also see changes.
The potential shake-up comes amid growing public pressure, with citizens and protesters calling on the President to replace Bello Matawalle due to perceived failures in handling Nigeria’s worsening security situation particularly in the North, where banditry and kidnappings remain rampant.
