The President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has revealed that President Tinubu’s decision to dismiss five ministers from his cabinet was based on the scorecard by the public.
Onanuga in an interview with AriseTV, on Thursday, October 24, disclosed that the review was a significant undertaking and part of the President’s plan since the Ministers were sworn in last year.
He recalled that the President’s Special Adviser on Policy, Hadiza Bala Usman was tasked with overseeing the performance appraisal, which included collecting public feedback on the Ministers.
Onanuga said: “He told them that he has the power to hire and fire, and that he would not hesitate to remove ministers who could not perform.
“He also mentioned that there’ll be a performance appraisal which he said Hadiza Bala Usman, his Special Adviser on Policy should lead.
“Hadiza brought technology to the task, asking Nigerians to score the ministers.
“So, whomever was removed out of the Ministers was removed based on empirical facts. The public perception of those Ministers, and they are the people who actually did the scorecard. The President only acted on the result, that is the public perception of those ministers, that’s what happened.”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had on Wednesday, October 23 reshuffled his cabinet, sacking about five ministers from their ministerial positions.
