Atiku’s Aide Advises Tinubu Against Appointing Ex-governors as Ministers

As Nigerians await the ministerial list, Daiel Bwala, an aide to the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has issued a piece of advice to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the composition of his cabinet.

In a tweet, Bwala said that if former governors constitute over 10 percent of Tinubu’s cabinet, it would hinder the fulfilment of his plans for the country.

The Atiku’s aide maintained that 90 percent of the former governors in Nigeria failed while they were in office.

Bwala charged President Tinubu to inject new faces into his cabinet if he wants to move Nigeria forward.

Bwala’s tweet reads: “If the names of former governors in his cabinet constitute more than 10 per cent of the whole, then we would know he doesn’t have plans for Nigeria. Firstly, 90 per cent of former governors in Nigeria have failed in governing their states where they commanded absolute powers. Some former governors have even gone on to fail as ministers in the past administration.

“When he sits in his cabinet meeting, there shouldn’t be old faces of the past administration in the room. He has more than enough manpower if he seriously wants to move this nation forward for at least six months remaining.”
