Abaribe criticized the replacement of Minister of Women Affairs Uju-Ken Ohanenye with Bianca Ojukwu as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
Abaribe expressed dissatisfaction with the reshuffle, stating it doesn’t feel like progress. “For my constituents, nothing has changed. They call it ‘Renewed Shege’ not ‘Renewed Hope’.”
The lawmaker alleged Tinubu breached the constitution by neglecting federal character in the reshuffled cabinet.
He said, “The president has breached it for the last 18 months. We thought that with these changes, maybe there will be some adjustments that will also put some balm on what is going on in the minds of people from the South East.
“I want to tell everyone that the Igbos want fairness and equity, which are in the constitution. Treat us as you are treating everybody else.”
