Rivers state factional All Progressives Congress, APC, chairman Tony Okocha has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sack his nonperforming ministers in his government.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, the Rivers APC boss made the remark on Sunday in Abuja, the nation’s capital stressing that Tinubu’s performance have been under-reported by the ministers.
Okocha said, “President Tinubu’s achievements are not in the public domain because most of his ministers failed to do the needful and are not adding value to the administration and the country.
“Gone are the days when they say don’t blow your trumpet yourself. These days, you have to blow it loud.
“The president’s achievements in less than two years are unsung; until he has a broadcast, you won’t know what he has done.
“Someone has to be responsible for telling Nigerians what the administration is doing in the various ministries, and all of those combined are the president’s achievements.
”Some of these ministers who are not doing well should be sacked to make way for more serious ones.”
Okocha is the APC factional chairman loyal to former governor of the state and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
His remark comes amidst reported plan by President Tinubu to re-shuffle his cabinet.
Bayo Onanuga, the president’s spokesman hinted few days ago that Tinubu was planning to re-jig his government for better performance, by replacing cabinet ministers who have under-performed.
The president’s return from his two weeks annual leave abroad, close watchers of the administration said, has further heightened tension in the administration, particularly among some ministers who are currently apprehensive that they will lose their jobs because they have not performed since they were appointed.
