An aide to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general election, Daniel Bwala, has said some people who made President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial list are not competent.
Bwala spoke on Thursday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
“I have reservations about so many of Tinubu’s ministers. I will caption my reservation as square pegs in round holes and the challenge of Renewed Hope. There are people who are not competent enough, in my view, to be on the list.
“There are people who are competent, but their portfolios are mismatched. Hannatu for example is made the minister of culture while her counterpart, Betta Edu is made minister of humanitarian, Bwala said.
“Secondly, the minister of state defence was a former governor who all through the four years his rating in fighting insecurity is 5 over 100. And now you made him minister of state to administer what?” He asked.
Recalled that Tinubu had on Wednesday assigned 45 portfolios to ministers-designate who will be sworn in on Monday.
