A purge of the federal cabinet appears imminent as President Goodluck Jonathan prepares to send a list of ministerial nominees to the Senate next week for confirmation.
Although the plan is ostensibly to fill the vacancies created by the exit of some ministers,there were indications last night that the President might drop more ministers to make way for the incoming ones.
12 vacancies currently exist in the cabinet.
The slots are those of Kebbi, Sokoto, the North East, the South West, Kaduna, Kano, South South, Jigawa, Akwa Ibom, Osun, Niger and Borno.
However, the actual number of the ministerial nominees to be sent to the Senate was kept secret last night.
Some members of the cabinet, especially those said to have scored low on President Jonathan’s ministers performance card, are now gripped by fear.
The fate of Aviation Minister Stella Oduah was shaky last night following pressure on the President either to drop or retain her.
