A report by SAHARA REPORTERS claims that President Muhammadu Buhari almost fired two top ministers during his recent trip to the United Arab Emirates.
The online news platform claims that Minister of Trade and Investment, Udo Udoma, and Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, expressed serious concerns over the provisions of several of the treaties President Buhari planned on signing with the UAE and almost got sacked.
The ministers counseled Buhari not to sign those agreements because they felt that Nigeria gave away too much in terms of its bilateral economic interests in order to achieve the president’s major goal; repatriation of stolen funds and extradition of criminals hiding in the UAE.
At one point in the debate, President Buhari reportedly declared his readiness to relieve Mrs. Adeosun and Mr. Udoma of their portfolios if they did not drop their opposition to the agreements.
