Northern group wants Keyamo, Cardoso’s sacked
A northern-youth based group, the Joint Action Committee of Northern Youth Associations, has called for the sack of Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Yemi Cadoso.
The call comes in the wake of the furore that greeted the agencies decisions to relocate specific departments from their Abuja headquarters to Lagos.
In a joint statement signed by the group’s convener Murtala Abubakar and its director of public communication & strategy, Hashim Tom Maiyashi, the group urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to relieve Keyamo and Cardoso of their jobs.
It said: “Given the magnitude of the decisions by the CBN and FAAN that demonstrate the unsuitability of their chief executives to preside over federal institutions, we urge our representatives to demand the immediate removal of the Governor of the CBN and the Minister of Aviation from their positions.
“This is not a punitive measure but an urgent step to restore public trust, ensure accountability, and uphold the constitutional integrity of key institutions that significantly influence our nation’s economic and administrative landscape.
“We call on our representatives in the National Assembly to exercise their full legislative oversight functions. We urge them to set a definite deadline for the executive to rescind the decisions related to the relocation of CBN departments and FAAN headquarters as well as to take proactive corrective measures.”
