Former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu will reshuffle his cabinet at the right time.
While featuring on a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television on Friday, tagged Inside Sources, Omisore said the President is on top of his games, that is why some ministers are correcting themselves.
According to him, “The issue of rejigging the cabinet, that is the prerogative of the President. The constitution says that the ministers hold their posts at the pleasure of the President. Because he (Tinubu) is engaging too, he knows the feedback from the people.
''He knows what to do at the right time. And our President today is a smart President, he is not a dullard; he knows what he wants and for what purposes. And I am sure if he deems fit that he has to rejig his cabinet, he will have to do it.”
“I am engaging the leaders of the government to place professionals in professional ministries. They add more value and they start work immediately''
Citing an example of Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, as a professional fitted for the ministry he has been assigned, Omisore said “The minister of works is a professional engineer. That is the why you put professionals in ministries and make the job easier. When you put square pegs in square holes from day 1, it is work in progress but when you bring a doctor to another ministry, there will be issues”
He opined that all 47 ministers in the Tinubu cabinet have no reason not to be outstanding. “Once they have been chosen as ministers, for them to be outstanding is a minimum requirement. It’s only when they fall short that there is an issue,” he said.
Commending President Tinubu, the APC chieftain argued that he has taken bold steps already like the removal of petrol subsidy despite being in office for the quarter of a term.
Omisore, who said Rome was not built in a day, pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with the present administration, assuring them that the next one more year will be different in terms of results.
