CNPP accused the duo of continuously misinforming Nigerians and turning the country into a laughing stock.
Secretary-General, CNPP, Willy Ezugwu, made the call in a statement on Sunday in reaction to the duo’s comments on Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index report.
Ezugwu described Mohammed and Shehu as major liabilities that have contributed to the poor image of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
He noted that the Buhari administration would have been perceived in a better light without the two.
“To most Nigerians, the Minister of Information represents a face of misinformation, just like the presidential adviser, Garba Shehu. Their responses or reactions to national issues have continued to put in present government sincerity in doubt.”

FIGURES from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) last week showed that the inflow of foreign direct investments (FDI) into Malaysia dropped by 68% from US$7.8 billion (RM31.5 billion) in 2019 to US$2.5 billion in 2020.
Malaysia was the worst performer in the region and commentators identified the main causes as political instability following the change of government in March, the first movement control order (MCO 1.0) just afterwards and continuing corruption issues discouraging foreign investors. However, we should be cautious about jumping to such quick and easy explanations.
First, although unexpected, the change in government was completely peaceful. It showed that Malaysia is a mature and sophisticated democracy in which the transition of power runs smoothly. The real political problems only emerged at the end of 2020 and the start of 2021, so they cannot be the main cause of the fall in FDI.

“Many non-politicians do not realise the lack of public funding is one key driver of political corruption,” the Upko President said in a statement, Friday, in his capacity as chairman of the think tank Workable Initiatives for Secularism, Decentralisation, Openness and Moderation.
