As Tinubu’s cabinet is unveiled, Nigerians adopt a “sidon look” attitude.

  • Post category:Politics

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s first batch of ministerial nominees, released two months after he assumed office, has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians. The list, comprising 28 nominees with no assigned portfolios, includes four former governors and six women.

Many Nigerians are concerned about the pressing issues the ministers will have to address when they assume office, such as the economy, fuel subsidy removal, education, and exchange rates, which require urgent attention. Some citizens expect the new ministers to start working immediately to tackle these challenges.

However, there is disappointment among some individuals who believe that some nominees were merely rewarded for their loyalty to Tinubu during the presidential poll, rather than being selected based on their positive contributions to the country. They expected the President to appoint technocrats to help resuscitate the economy and reposition the nation.

Others have applauded certain names on the list, viewing them as a reflection of President Tinubu’s promise to promote national unity and involve all stakeholders in moving the country forward.

Public affairs analyst, Adelaja Adeoye, praised the nomination of former governors Nyesom Wike and David Umahi, recognizing their past performances in office and suggesting they could bring their experience to their new roles.

On the other hand, some citizens, like IT expert Ifeanyi Okuchi, express little hope for positive change from the current administration and believe that the list consists of old politicians instead of technocrats.

Amidst the differing opinions, activist Shehu Sani criticized the appointment of Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State, and questioned the focus on rewarding former governors rather than prioritizing competence.

Overall, Nigerians eagerly await the impact of the new ministers’ contributions, hoping they can address the pressing challenges and bring about positive changes in the country’s security and economic sectors.
