Oshiomole and Ngige have been at loggerhead over the refusal of the minister to inaugurate boards of parastatals under his ministry, several months after they were appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari. “If the minister refuses we will suspend him from the party,” the party chairman said on Monday at the State House in Abuja. Oshiomhole expressed his grievance after Ngige replied a letter by the party asking him to inaugurate all board members appointed under his ministry. However, the former governor of Edo state emphasized that no minister his above the rules of the party. “So, we are informing them that it is either they comply to the president’s instructions or they comply with the party’s position or they go and administer outside the government,” Oshiomole said.
