Shetty Maryam was removed from the list of ministers for a reason, according to Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
President Bola Tinubu didn’t know how Shetty’s name arrived on the list, according to Ganduje, who claimed that’s why she was dumped.
The Kano State needed to designate a minister with integrity and experience, according to the APC National Chairman.
Moment Maryam Shetty Arrived National Assembly Unaware President Tinubu Has Replaced Her Name
Shetty was meant to be screened by the Senate on Friday, but Tinubu substituted Mariya Mahmoud Mairiga Bunkure for her just before the session began.
Tinubu wrote a letter to the Senate that was read by Godswill Akpabio and stated her removal and replacement with Bunkure.
However, according to Ganduje, who spoke on a Kano radio station, Shetty was fired as a result of criticisms that followed her appointment as a minister.
According to Ganduje: “Maryam Shetty’s name emerged from the top, she was not well-known to us. We could not appraise her.
“But suddenly, Shetty came under attack on social media. People questioned her integrity and experience, with many of them doubting her credentials to represent Kano at the national level.

“When he asked whether there was a need to replace her, I answered in affirmative, because the ministerial slot requires someone with integrity, knowledge, experience and commitment to the party.”
