The Minister for State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has resigned from President Muhammadu Buhari’s Cabinet.
Nwajiuba, a Lawyer, from Imo State, resigned in obedience to the President’s order on Wednesday, that those in his Cabinet, seeking elective positions against 2023, should resign on, or before May 16, 2022.
Nwajiuba by being the first to resign has surprised many who were also surprised by his aspiration to the office of the President. Not a few people think he stands no chance in his aspiration.
A former member of the House of Representatives, Nwajiuba had come under severe criticism by a cross section of Nigerians for purchasing a N100m Presidential Form, and seeking to be President when University Students have been home for nine weeks and counting because their teachers are on strike. But Nwajiuba had said that Forms were purchased for him by a group made up of friends and associates.
With his resignation, Imo State, where he hails from, no longer has a representative in the Federal Cabinet.
