**Breaking News: Tinubu's Ministers Who Might Resign to Pursue Governorship Ambitions** Abuja, FCT - As the 2027 general elections draw near, there's a brewing storm in President Bola Tinubu's cabinet. Reports suggest that several ministers are mulling resignation to pursue their governorship ambitions in their home states. This development may lead to a cabinet reshuffle, with potentially four ministers eyeing governorship positions in states where incumbent governors will complete their two terms in 2027. The ministers in question are Adebayo Adelabu (Minister of Power), Muhammad Pate (Minister of Health and Social Welfare), Yusuf Tuggar (Minister of Foreign Affairs), and Nkeiruka Onyejeocha (Minister of State for Labour). These individuals are reportedly engaging with supporters and stakeholders ahead of the 2027 party primaries, which are expected to take place between April 22nd and May 20th. In Nigeria, electoral rules require holders of appointed offices, including ministers, to resign before participating in party primaries. This is enshrined in Section 88(1) of the Electoral Act 2026, which states that political appointees cannot be voting delegates or be voted for in party primaries. As the 2027 elections approach, these ministers may choose to resign from their positions to avoid any potential conflicts of interest or to focus on their governorship ambitions. The development highlights the intense politicking that's underway ahead of the elections, with many politicians positioning themselves for various offices. While it remains to be seen how this plays out, one thing is certain: the 2027 elections will be a crucial test of Nigeria's democratic institutions and the ability of its leaders to navigate the complexities of electoral politics.
