As President Bola Tinubu’s first year in office approaches on May 29, 2024, there are indications of an imminent reshuffle in his cabinet, causing panic among ministers.
As part of the minor reshuffle, Tinubu is reportedly planning to remove Adebayo Adelabu as minister of power and reassign him to a different ministerial position.
From gas supply shortages to frequent electricity grid collapses, Nigerians have been clamouring for stable power.
While rumors swirl about Adelabu’s sack, Nigerians are already expressing their dissatisfaction.

Some Nigerians took to the comment section to react.
Oseni Azeez described him as the worst Minister of Power Nigeria has ever had.
He is the worst Minister of Power Nigeria have ever had. Will he even perform very well in another position?
Mahmud Waziri suggested his reassignment due to poor performance, possibly to the sports ministry.
About time because he has been performing woefully, he should be reassigned to sport ministry
Eazi Flo tweeted:
Liberia Electricity minister just resigned because of grid collapse. Tanzania last week shut down power station due to excess capacity. Egypt added 15,000 Megawatt capacity. Algeria is developing 21,000 MW addition for 45 million citizens. Nigeria can NOT get 5,000MW to 200 million people.

He’s not ready to give the country stable electricity. I like what Tinubu is doing,’if you can’t deliver he reshuffle you! That’s leadership.
