What Buhari Will Not Do
OpenLife Nigeria reports that a former Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu has clarified the difference between Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari in the handling of presidential matters.
According to Shittu, former President Muhammadu Buhari would not ask for his appointees in four years unless they met him.
Shittu stated this in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics .
According to the former minister, Buhari did not ask his ministers to account for how they run their ministries.
He said, “Buhari did not give anybody any threat. As I said, Buhari is not Tinubu, and Tinubu is not Buhari. What I know of Buhari, with all due respect to him, is that he is a more reserved person. When he gives a job to somebody, he will never ask how they go about it.
“I have to say this for the national interest so that the government who comes after him should do something about it. In the Buhari government, if you don’t go and meet him, probably in the next four years, he will not ask about you.
“People bring their memos, but in terms of supervision, we really did have such things. Tinubu is trying to do things differently.
“In his statement today, Tinubu shows commitment by saying that he is trying to do things differently. What I think he needs to add to it is to lead transparent and quantifiable supervision of each ministry.”
