Adebayo Shittu talked down new Tinubu's ministers

Shittu doubts that the new ministers are necessarily superior to those who were sacked, seeing the change as simply some individuals being replaced by others. He emphasized that it's unfair to assume the new appointees are better than those who were let go.

When asked if President Tinubu has the right team to deliver, Shittu chose not to prejudge, stating that he doesn't know the other six new ministers. However, he highlighted Jumoke's capabilities, citing her past success in trade and investment.

Shittu also stressed the importance of thorough screening for ministerial nominees by the Senate, noting that Nigerians don't have the patience for trial-and-error ministers. He used the example of an engineer serving as Minister of Works, highlighting the positive impact of relevant expertise on the assignment.

His statement reads in part:
