President Nola Ahmed Tinubu (R) and Mr. Buba Galadima.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu‘s planned cabinet reshuffle will make no difference, Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has said.
Bayo Onanuga, Special aAdviser to the President on Information and Strategy, on September 25, said Tinubu “has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet and he will do it”.
Speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels TV on Friday, Galadima said reshuffling the cabinet would not curb food inflation.
Galadima claimed that the President intended to reward his cronies with the reshuffle.
Said Galadima: “That (planned cabinet reshuffle) has nothing to do with me or any Nigerian. What is of importance to all of us is bringing down the harsh conditions of living and the buck stops only on the table of one man. That is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“No amount of reshuffling can make a difference. As far as that team is only ‘job for the boys,’ nothing will come out of it.
“Anybody that calls himself president or governor is responsible for their cabinet’s performance. He should be told that some of his appointees are more interested in their pockets than service delivery.
“I expected him to do better than this; and to hit the ground running”.
The NNPP chieftain asked Tinubu to find a solution to the country’s foreign exchange crisis “which has seen the Naira performing abysmally”.
There have been growing calls from Nigerians and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Tinubu to reshuffle his cabinet and remove underperforming Ministers.
Tinubu’s policies have driven petrol prices to record highs and depreciated the Naira to record lows since he assumed the reins on May 29, 2023.
