The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to reshuffle his cabinet.

“Mr Ekeremadu is suggesting the redeployment of the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun and the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, from their present ministries,” according to a Channels TV report.

It quoted him as making the call today as the Senate began debate on the state of the economy.

“Senator Ekweremadu claimed that he was not impressed with the performance of the Ministers of Finance and Budget and National Planning. He believes they will perform better in other ministries,” the report said.
