Sale Mamman, who has just been relieved of his job as the Minister of Power, has broken his silence.
The former minister said he reacted with humility and based on the will of God.
Mamman was accused of not meeting the target Buhari set for the power sector.
While not raising any controversy nor addressing accusations levelled against him, he thanked President Muhammadu Buhri, his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo, in a statement he personally signed.
The statement read: ”With a deep sense of humility and submission to the will of Almighty Allah, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR for granting me the opportunity to serve in his administration and contribute my quota to our beloved Nation Nigeria.
