President Tinubu Set to Reshuffle Cabinet, List of New Ministers Ready
President Bola Tinubu is poised to dissolve his cabinet this week in what is expected to be a significant shake-up, according to sources close to the presidency. This move is intended to refresh the administration with new, dynamic leaders capable of driving the government’s agenda forward.
A Strategic Move for Fresh Minds
A top official familiar with the situation told Sunday Tribune that the dissolution of the cabinet is intended to "pave the way for the injection of fresh minds that can bring the needed vitality to the cabinet." The president recently returned from an official visit to China and is expected to depart for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York in the coming days. According to the source, President Tinubu may execute the cabinet dissolution before leaving for the UNGA, ensuring the transition happens swiftly and smoothly.
Addressing Public Concerns and Performance Issues
President Tinubu is reportedly aware of the widespread criticisms surrounding the performance of some of his current ministers. Public discontent and complaints regarding their effectiveness have reached the presidency, prompting the president to consider significant changes. "President Tinubu is not satisfied with the performance of a number of his ministers and is determined to show them the exit door," the source revealed. While the president has kept the specifics of who will be replaced and the full extent of the reshuffle within a close circle of trusted aides, the list of new appointees is reportedly ready for implementation.
Cabinet Reshuffle Timing
According to the insider, once President Tinubu returns from the UNGA, he will move swiftly to reconstitute his cabinet. The shake-up is anticipated to bring in new ministers, including notable figures such as a former minister from the Buhari administration, who is rumored to be among the fresh faces in line for a ministerial role.
No Connection to Ngelale’s Resignation
While speculation has surfaced about whether the recent resignation of Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson, is part of the broader shake-up, the source clarified that Ngelale’s exit is unrelated to the planned cabinet changes. His resignation, the source confirmed, is independent of the ongoing efforts to restructure the president’s team.
As the nation awaits the anticipated cabinet reshuffle, all eyes will be on the president’s next steps in revitalizing his administration and addressing key performance concerns
