Dele Momodu, a chieftain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial cabinet.
Momodu claimed that Tinubu’s pick of ministers was worse than that of his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari.
This came as he revealed that, in contrast to what had previously been available, some of Tinubu’s ministers remain unknown.
He revealed this when participating in the most recent episode of the podcast Mic On.
Momodu pointed out that Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, was an early manifestation of himself as a PDP minister.
According to Momodu:
“Every leader has what it takes to be a good resident if he has good advisers and listens to them. It’s just like a journalist without corrections, he will always carry fake news.
“For any leader to succeed, he must look at his team and what I’m seeing now is worst than Buhari’s team.
“What I expected was a star-studded cabinet, I like to recall myself with sweet memories of Ibrahim Babangida’s cabinet in those days.
“We remember them till today, most of the people appointed now, I don’t know them. Under Babangida, I remember Akinyele, Bolaji Akinyemi, Bolasodun Ajibola, Tai Solarin, Wole Soyinka.
“You can’t say that today, somebody is on her way to screen you remove her, that’s disgraceful, it means you didn’t do your due diligence before appointing people.
“In the days of Okonjo-Iweala, Ezekwesili, Nubu Ribadu, original El-Rufai when he was a minister under PDP was original El-Rufai.”
