Cabinet Reshuffle: Only President Knows Who Will Go Or Stay – Bwala

Published

on

 

Ahead of the imminent cabinet reshuffle by President Bola Tinubu, former spokesperson of Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign 2023, Daniel Bwala, says it is the prerogative of the President to decide ministers that will remain and those that will leave.

 

 

Bwala, who was a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, The Morning Brief on Thursday, said any other person who claims to be in the know of ministers that would remain or those that would be sacked is only second-guessing.

 

“What you must always judge with government is that at every given time, the motive of the government, the intention of the government and the accountability that the government brings to the people should be a factor for assessment, not necessarily because you want to see some extraordinary thing before you do that.

 

 

So, the president is assessing whether some people believe in his administration because if they do you will be a messenger of what you believe in. But as to say who should go or who should stay is the prerogative of the president, only the president knows who will go and who will stay.

 

“Anybody else who tells you he knows who will go and who will stay I think the person is either second-guessing or the person is not being fair to himself,” Bwala said.

 

 

Another vacant position in Aso Rock is that of the Spokesperson for the President previously occupied by Ajuri Ngelale who recently resigned for family reasons, with rumours in some quarters tipping Bwala for the position.

 

Reacting to the rumours tipping him to replace Ngelale, Bwala said, “I am not aware of people tipping me for the job, but I read things on social media. What I know is that every citizen of Nigeria who believes in government and how government should be run should play his part in supporting the government in whatever way you can. So that is what we have been doing without necessarily having to wait for appointment .”

 

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed to State House correspondents on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja that Tinubu is set to reshuffle his cabinet after one year and four months in office.

 

 

 

He noted that contrary to insinuations in some quarters, the current government has recorded significant achievements in its quest to transform the economy, of which members of the public are unaware.

 

He said, “I don’t have any timeline. The President has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet and will do it. I don’t know whether he wants to do it before October 1, but he will surely do it.”

A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order barring the Directorate of Road Traffic Services (otherwise known as VIO) from further stopping vehicles on the road, impounding or confiscating vehicles, and imposing fines on motorists.

 

Justice Evelyn Maha issued the order in a judgment on a fundamental rights enforcement suit: FHC/ABJ/CS/1695/2023 filed by a human rights activist and public interest attorney, Abubakar Marshal, reports The Nation.

 

 

Also affected by the order are the Director of Road Transport; the Area Commander, Jabi, and the Team Leader, Jabi, and the Minister of the FCT, also listed as respondents.

 

 

In the judgment delivered on Wednesday, October 2, Justice Maha upheld Marshal’s argument that no law empowers respondents to stop, impound, confiscate, seize, or impose fines on motorists.

 

The judge declared that the first to the 4th respondents, who are under the control of the 5th respondent (Minister of the FCT) are not empowered by any law or statute to stop, impound, or confiscate the vehicles of motorists and or impose fines on motorists.

 

She proceeded to issue an order restraining the 1st to 4th respondents either through their agents, servants, and or assigns from impounding, confiscating the vehicle of motorists, and or imposing a fine on any motorist as doing so is wrongful, oppressive, and unlawful by themselves.

 

 

Justice Maha further made an order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents whether by themselves, agents, privies, allies or anybody acting on behalf of the 1st respondent from further violating the rights of Nigerians to freedom of movement, presumption of innocence and right to own property without lawful justification.
