As President Bola Tinubu prepares to reshuffle his cabinet, several ministers are aggressively lobbying to retain their positions.
The presidency confirmed that the upcoming shake-up will be based on performance reviews.
Ministers, alongside their political godfathers, are applying pressure on influential figures like Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, fearing they may lose their roles. Some ministers have even sought intervention from Tinubu’s allies, hoping for leniency.
Sources revealed that Tinubu, facing mounting pressure, was advised to take a brief trip to London. Despite this lobbying, the president remains committed to a performance-driven approach. According to presidential aides, Tinubu’s decision will prioritize Nigeria’s best interests, and non-performing ministers may be dismissed, regardless of political influence. While there’s no official date for the reshuffle, sources speculate that the announcement could come as early as October 1st.
