Tinubu decides Who remains or goes.Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, has emphasized that President Bola Tinubu alone is able to select which ministers would be replaced and which will stay in office.
According to the Presidency, President Tinubu would soon reorganize his cabinet on Wednesday.Following on the reports from September 1st that a cabinet shuffle was likely to take place.
This occurred when advisers to the president revealed to The PUNCH that certain clergy members had begun frantically trying to gain favor with the president.
Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Thursday, Bwala refuted rumors that were making the rounds on the reorganization, saying that anyone claiming to know the ministers’ fates was just speculating.
The president is determining whether or not certain individuals believe in his government, according to Bwala, because if they do, you will be a spokesperson for your beliefs. But the president has the right to decide who should leave and who should stay. Who will leave and who will stay is only known by the president. Anyone else who claims to know is being unfair to themselves or second-guessing themselves.
A date has not yet been established for the rearrangement, which has been confirmed by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy.
According to Onanuga, Tinubu plans to reorganize his cabinet in light of the public’s actual perceptions and his ministers’ achievements during the previous year and a half.
Onanuga pointed out that, in contrast to popular belief, Tinubu’s administration has accomplished a number of noteworthy first steps in its efforts to restructure the economy, even though many people are ignorant of them.
Onanuga declared, “I have no schedule. The President intends to reorganize his cabinet, as he has stated. He may not want to do it by October 1st, but he will undoubtedly complete the task.
Ajuri Ngelale resigned from her post as presidential spokesperson due to personal reasons, leaving the role unfilled in the meantime.
In response to rumors that she might be taking on the role, Bwala stated, “I don’t know of anyone recommending me for the position. I read stuff on social media, but regardless of how they choose to support the government, all citizens should maintain peace .
As we patiently wait for the presidents speech and final decisions,we hope it will be for the benefit of the nation at large.
