"Mr President should take bolder steps like this to sack all the incompetent hands in his government,” Frank said.

“Some of these actions are long overdue; it is high time President Buhari sacked all the incompetent hands in this government.

"Nigerians want to see the type of actions President Zuma took in South Africa. This government must do more to ensure that the act of corruption becomes a thing of the past in Nigeria by getting to the root of this controversial $49M and anybody found guilty must be prosecuted," he added.

He expressed confidence in the investigative committee set up by President Buhari.
