Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), has faulted President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s cabinet reshuffle, saying that it falls short of Nigerians’ expectations.

According to the Executive Director, RULAAC, Com. Okechukwu Nwanguma, President Tinubu’s initial cabinet selection prioritized political patronage over competence, leading to a composition of primarily old allies and surrogates, such as Ezenwo Nyesom Wike,  whose controversial actions during the elections have raised concerns.

“The resultant cabinet reflected incompetence and corruption, lacking the necessary governance expertise.

“In the recent reshuffle, expectations were for the dismissal of underperforming ministers, yet many were merely reassigned, failing to address the core issue of inadequate performance.

“Nigeria urgently requires a cabinet of skilled, patriotic technocrats who understand the complexities of the nation’s challenges and are dedicated to effective governance,” he emphasized.

He further said that to foster real progress, Tinubu must prioritize qualifications over party affiliations, ensuring that the administration is equipped to tackle Nigeria’s pressing issues with urgency and efficacy.
