Ahead of the May 29 inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it has been revealed that some Diaspora Nigerians would be appointed ministers in the incoming administration.
Some sources within Tinubu camp revealed that the incoming cabinet would not be populated by politicians, especially formers governors as Nigerians think.
The source said the incoming president is someone who knows how to identify talents and that Tinubu would put square pegs in square holes.
He said, “Tinubu won’t give ministries to people to manage based on patronage alone. He must have recognised capacity and ability in you before you can be appointed into key positions. That is the hallmark of this man that Nigerians have given the leadership of the country.”
The Special Adviser to the President-elect, Mr Dele Alake, disclosed that it would not take Tinubu up to 60 days to assemble a team of competent hands.
He had said, “I told you in an earlier interview that it didn’t take Asiwaju more than three weeks to form his cabinet as governor.
“That was as at that time. I think 60 days is even too much. A month, maximum, is enough for any serious government to form its cabinet and put a structure of government in place after the swearing-in.”
