Many of the ministers in the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu fall below Grade A, according to Jimoh Ibrahim, Senator representing Ondo South.
Ibrahim also said some of the ministers have allegations of corruption connected to them, while some of them are not up and doing.
The senator said this in an interview with Channels Television.
According to the federal lawmaker, Tinubu has a “very fantastic” mechanism to govern the country, but there is no structure and system for him to achieve it.
He advised the president to dissolve his cabinet over lukewarmness and incompetence.
“You have to dissolve the cabinet and come up with knowledgeable people. The cabinet is too cold and the efforts are not seen,” Ibrahim said.
“Some of them that have been accused of corruption should be dropped immediately. If you fail to do that, you will be carrying their burden with you and that will be terrible for our country. I can’t see so many of the ministers in the first grade of the box. A lot of them are in the B, C grades.”
Some of Tinubu’s ministers have not lived to the expectation of Nigerians, as the government struggles to get its bearing on the economy and insecurity.
Last year, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, was enmeshed in corruption, leading to her suspension.
