2023 Poll:Buhari’s Minister resigns

The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba has submitted his resignation letter to pursue his presidential ambition

This was confirmed after President Buhari ordered all cabinet minister who are vying to contest in the 2023 presidential elections to quit his government.

The Minister of State for Education, Nwajiuba who had picked the expression of interest and nomination forms from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to contest for the presidency at the cost of N100million

In a move to avoid litigation that might jeopardize chances of Apc candidates in the coming elections, Buhari had directed that all members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) running for elective offices should submit their letters of resignation on or before Monday the 16th of May, 2022.

While the FEC meeting lasted, Buhari had singled out Nwajiuba for braving the odds to quit to avoid conflict of interest, and said: “I expect other members of this council seeking to be President to resign with immediate effect” his resignation letter to pursue his presidential ambition.

The development may not be unconnected with the Appeal Court ruling which set aside an earlier judgement against Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act 2022.
