BREAKING: Massive Sacks, Resignations Set To Hit Tinubu’s Government
Daniel Bwala, a lawyer and aide to People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar, says only three ministers may remain in office by January 2023 if President Bola Tinubu keeps to his words of measuring performance of his appointees.
The Borno State-born Bwala, in a post on his verified X handle on Friday night, also said that the performance bond signed by the ministers would serve as resignation letter for some of them.
He said : “I have carefully followed the @officialABAT retreat for ministers and the criterion for measuring performance based upon a clearly defined objectives. I dare say, if it is followed religiously, by January PBAT may empty the basket of ministerial appointees with not more than 3 ministers surviving.
“Except if Hadiza Bala ends up being compromised to cover some ministers.”
In another post, Bwala, who defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress to PDP before 2023 elections, said : “The performance bond they signed, its actually the resignation letter for a lot of them. Politics may get you appointment, but only performance would keep you there.”
Naija News House reports that Tinubu had a few days ago set up performance measurement desk under the headship of one of his aides, Hadiza Bala.
A statement signed by spokesman of the President, Ajuri Ngelale, on Friday, also said Tinubu has also ordered direct reform and reactivation of presidential project delivery tracke to empower Nigerians to track the implementation of projects across the country in real time.
Speaking at the closing session of a three-day Cabinet Retreat, on Friday in Abuja, the President said that his determination to ensure the active and direct participation of citizens in governance is unwavering, noting that all Nigerians must be given the opportunity to track and report on the implementation of projects across the country.
Tinubu said he has asked Hadiza Bala – his Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza, to immediately reactivate the tracking system in a way that maximally leverages on cutting-edge digital innovation to provide real time oversight capability for the benefit of all Nigerians.
He redefined the priority areas of his administration as:
1. Reform the economy to deliver sustained inclusive growth.
2. Strengthen national security for peace and prosperity.
3. Boost agriculture to achieve food security.
4. Unlock energy and natural resources for sustainable development.
5. Enhance infrastructure and transportation as enablers of growth.
6. Focus on education, health, and social investment as essential pillars of development.
7. Accelerate diversification through industrialization, digitization, creative arts, manufacturing & innovation.
8. Improve governance for effective service delivery.
The President further implored all members of his cabinet to work very hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
“I want to reiterate that the Renewed Hope Agenda is about more than just economic growth. It is also about building a more just and equitable society for all Nigerians. It is about creating jobs, improving education and healthcare, and reducing poverty. It is about ensuring that all Nigerians have the opportunity to succeed.
“I know that we have a lot of work ahead of us, but I am confident we can achieve our goals. We have a strong team in place, and we are committed to working together to build a better future for Nigeria.
“Let me remind you that our people are not interested in excuses, political games, or procrastination. Neither am I. They are interested in tangible results. They seek solutions to the problems that have long plagued our great nation. The challenge before us demands that we must put aside personal ambitions and focus on adhering to the performance bond we have all signed up to on this day. These performance bonds represent a contract we must uphold,” the President said.
