Daniel Bwala, an aide to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that he has less expectations from the newly inaugurated ministers of President Bola Tinubu because most of them lack good track record.
He also said that Tinubu's cabinet is filled with people whose appointments were not based on merit.
Speaking during Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, Bwala stated that he does not expect them to perform at more than 15 percent.
He said, “I feel that when it comes to the number of ministers, he (Tinubu) was more particular about politics than governance. The number of governors in the cabinet and the portfolios assigned to some individuals were purely political.
“I don’t have an expectation of a performance that is going to be beyond 15 percent, looking at the cabinet members.
“This is because you have a cabinet that is full of people whose track record betrays what we are expecting of them. A governor who did not do much in a state where he had the resources and made executive decisions and nobody questioned him yet couldn’t do anything.”
Recall that President Tinubu on Monday swore in 45 ministers into his cabinet, which had former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike as the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Festus Keyamo as Minister of Aviation.
Other ministers include Wale Edun (Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy), Adegboyega Oyetola (Transportation), David Umahi (Works), Festus Keyamo (Aviation and Aerospace Development), and Betta Edu (Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation).
