Doyin Okupe Visits President Tinubu

A former Director-General of Peter Obi 2023 presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe has paid a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Naija News reports that Okupe, a former presidential aide, meet with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Thursday.

Details of the meeting between the duo has not been disclosed as at the time of this report.

Meanwhile, Okupe has recently applauded President Tinubu’s recent cabinet reshuffle, particularly his decision to scrap what he termed “superfluous ministries.”

Speaking in an interview last Thursday in Lagos, Okupe highlighted the strategic role played by global auditing firm KPMG in the process that led to the dismissal of some ministers.

He said, “President Tinubu has done the needful by his mid-term rejig of his cabinet. Scrapping superfluous ministries is in line with removing waste and making government compact and effective. This is commendable.

“For the first time, removal of ministers from the cabinet has not been arbitrary or sentimental, apart from an in-house key performance index report.

“KPMG is also said to be involved in critical performance assessment of the ministers.”

According to the politician, Nigerians expect the president and his new cabinet to pull up their bootstrings and address the nation’s issues.

He expressed hope in President Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ to reposition the country.
