Former adviser to Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Daniel Bwala, has criticized President Bola Tinubu for creating a big government.
He charged Tinubu of assembling the biggest cabinet and most bloated administration in Nigerian history.
He emphasized that despite the size of his administration and the influence of human rights activists, the president has been unable to advance the nation.
Bwala wrote on X that Tinubu must work to unite the country if the nation wants to advance.
He asserts that Tinubu’s appointments are motivated by nepotism.
He wrote:
“Largest cabinet since the inception of the Republic; Bloated government since the return of democracy; Largest media aids to the point of superimposition of roles; @officialABAT arguably influenced the media careers of 60 percent of journalists in the country, 40 percent of human right advocates and CSO founders; heck he even owns a TV house and a newspaper company; YET the optics aren’t good and the narrative can’t be changed.
“Do you know why? No leader can move a country that he is not consciously working towards unifying and to give everybody a sense of belonging. The nepotism is ultra high and pro max.”
