The cleric said:

“The minister of sports, he (Tinubu) is supposed to remove him immediately. Remember that Nigeria invested about N12 billion in this year's Olympics. That money would have solved some economic problems.“To be honest, they should remove the minister immediately and put a more reliable person there.”

A former federal lawmaker, Enoh represented the Cross River central senatorial district and served in the 8th senate (2015-2019) as chairman of the senate committee on finance.

He was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) until May 2017, when he decamped to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and contested for the governorship of Cross River state, which he lost to Ben Ayade.

The 58-year-old was appointed minister of sports development by President Tinubu on August 16 2023, a position he has held till date.
