Power minister collapses on hearing news of sack, lands in hospital
The news of the sack of two of President Muhammadu Buhari cabinet ministers came to many Nigerians as shock—and to one of the ministers affected, life-threatening news.
Saleh Mamman is now in an Abuja hospital.
He collapsed in Abuja September 1 on hearing the news Buhari axed him and his agric. minister Sabo Nanono, the minister who approved N30m for a Friday mosque construction in a Borno IDP camp.
Mamman was appointed in 2019, and Buhari fired him for his weak performance following self-assessment by the cabinet.
“He wasn’t expecting to be fired so soon,” a family member told the People Gazette that first reported it.
“He collapsed yesterday and was immediately hospitalised,”
The online news platform added the 63 year-old has been living at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja for more than three weeks on the bills of some powerful interests in the power sector.
