The Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, has joined the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, whose resignation was announced by President Muhammadu Buhari during Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, to resign his appointment, following the directive of the President, asking all members of his cabinet and appointees vying for electoral offices to resign on or before May 16, 2022.
The order which came on Wednesday was announced during the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by the President at the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja.
“The minister was at the office of the SGF to drop his resignation. That was expected seeing as the president asked that they all should resign”, one source told The Punch.
Onu had on May 6, 2022, declared for the presidency under the ruling All Progressives Congress.
