As part of the fallout following the defection of 5 Governors of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Goodluck Jonathan is expected to sack more ministers.

Ministers who are loyal to the defectors are expected to be sacked.

Meanwhile, The Nation has reported that President Jonathan's strategist have come up with four ways of tackling the challenge poised by the recent defections. The 4 ways are listed as

  • engaging those who defected in legal battles to declare their seats vacant
  • sponsoring political dissidents in their states
  • creating legal and political hurdles for anyone with a case or their relations; and
  • ridding the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the defectors’ loyalists.
The President had earlier sacked 11 ministers who were allegedly linked to the new PDP.
