President Bola Tinubu has sounded a strong warning to all the ministers he appointed that he will not hesitate to sack any minister who is found wanting in his/her duty.
The president issued the threat while speaking at a meeting with the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
Tinubu, who marked his first anniversary in office on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, said he would continue to do his best for the country but wouldn’t accept disappointment from his ministers.
Hear him,
“I thank the cabinet members for their efforts, but I will relieve any of them of their duties anytime I feel that they are failing Nigerians,” he said.
Tinubu also urged state governments to prioritise the needs of local communities by ensuring local governments work effectively.
According to him,
“People reside in the local communities. That is where they work, farm, and live. If the local governments are not effective in delivering services; as leaders, we must not hang on to the numbers.
“Maybe we should look at recalibrating. What was good four years ago may not be good today. When we want the votes, we go to the locals; when we get the votes, we move to and focus on Abuja.”
He called on the Ministers to ensure that the governors of their States address the needs of the people in the various local government areas in their States.
