Cabinet Reshuffling: Power Minister Adelabu Must Be Removed – VeryDarkMan

In anticipation of President Bola Tinubu’s upcoming cabinet reshuffle, prominent social critic Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has urged the removal of Chief Adebayo Adelabu, the Minister of Power.

Recalls that Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy had on Wednesday stated that cabinet reshuffling is eminent.

There are indications that some ministers may be removed while others may be given another portfolio.

Reacting, VDM in a video clip on his Facebook page on Friday pleaded with the president to spare performing ministers.

He, however, said the Minister of Power must be removed, explaining that the “segregation surrounding Band A, Band B and Band C” does not make sense.

He wondered why a section of Nigerians would enjoy power supply for 20 hours in a day while others cannot.

He said: “If at all any minister must be removed or reshuffled, it should be the Minister of Power. They need to remove that guy.

“My reason is this, the segregation surrounding the Band A, Band B and Band C issues makes no sense. What is the reason for that segregation? Are you trying to say that poor people do not have access to light?

“Is it that the poor people are not supposed to use light for 24 hours? It makes no sense because we are all Nigerians.”

BREAKING: Private Jet Conveying Minister of Power, Adelabu Crash-Lands In Oyo

A very serious tragedy was prevented on Friday Night when an aircraft which had Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power, on board crash-landed near Ibadan Airport in Oyo State, according to Daily Trust.

Information had earlier filtered in that the aircraft crashed, but it was later discovered that it crash-landed.

Details of the incident were still sketchy as of press time but Daily Trust gathered that it happened on Friday night.

Daily Trust cannot state if the minister or those on board sustained any injury in the incident, which happened after the Nigerian Metrological Agency (NiMET) issued travel warning based on hazy weather.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had also advised Pilots and Airline Operators to exercise caution over hazardous weather as the dry season approaches.

The chartered aircraft Flint Short Aero, an HS 125 with the registration number: 5N-AMM, had an initial contact with the control tower at 18:56 seeking for extension, which was granted by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), according to a source.

The aircraft departed Abuja with Ibadan as its destination.

The source told Daily Trust correspondent that the aircraft landed short of the threshold with about 50 metres and skidded into a bushy ditch close to the runway.

Though, the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has been informed of the serious incident, the authority is yet to issue a statement.

When contacted, a spokesperson with NSIB, Mr. Tunji Oketunmbi, told Daily Trust that the Bureau’s investigators were on ground in Ibadan to ascertain the immediate and remote causes of the incident.
