OPINION BY FEMI FALANA: How President Buhari sacked ministers that failed to resign | TheCable

At the brief ceremony, the president thanked the outgoing ministers for their invaluable services to the nation through their contributions as cabinet members. While giving them a pat on the back the president said: “I wish you success in the upcoming elections and in your future endeavours”.

While responding on behalf of the outgoing ministers, Godswill Akpabio thanked the president for giving them the opportunity to serve and contribute their quota to nation-building. He described working with the president as a ‘‘fantastic and knowledgeable experience,’’ adding that as they step aside they would continue to be great disciples of President Buhari.

After the farewell ceremony, the presidency published the names of the nine ministers who had left the cabinet together with the farewell picture taken with the president. In the circumstances, the former ministers are estopped from denying their exit from the cabinet.In opposing my views, Professor N.O. Obiaraeri was reported to have said that: “There is no evidence of a written acknowledgement of the letter and acceptance of the letter of resignation by the person to whom it was addressed”.

Apart from the direct and express provision of the constitution, this is also the position as judicially proclaimed in several cases. In Benson v. Onitiri SCNLR 177 @189-190; Sunday v. Olugbenga & ors LPELR-4995 ; WAEC V. Oshienebo 12 NWLR 258 it was held that resignation or voluntary retirement takes immediate effect, once received by the employer or agent of the employer.

From the foregoing, the implication of inviting the outgoing ministers to the valedictory ceremony was that President Buhari had made up his mind to dispense with their services with effect from May 16, 2022. And the participation of the ministers in the valedictory ceremony without any protest whatsoever meant that they had accepted their exit from the cabinet.
