During his participation on TVC’s news show “Reviewing The State of the Nation,” Social Democratic Party (SDP) National Chairman, Shehu Musa Gabam voiced reservations regarding President Tinubu’s cabinet composition in a bold declaration. Gabam stated that there aren’t enough advisors in the current administration who are willing to give candid criticism, which could have a bad effect on governance and the execution of policies.
Gabam declared, “President Tinubu does not have people who will tell him the truth in his cabinet,” alluding to a possible weakness in the President’s inner circle. This criticism is directed at the administration at a time when it is being scrutinized for the way it has handled a number of national concerns.
It’s interesting to note that Mallam El Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has been involved in recent political activities, which may have an impact on the SDP National Chairman’s remarks. El Rufai is said to have met with the SDP hierarchy multiple times in the last few weeks, which has led to rumors of potential discussions or realignments in politics.
Political observers and experts have been talking about these developments because they want to know what Gabam’s claims and El Rufai’s interactions with the SDP mean. In addition, while the nation works through its current problems, the remarks have prompted concerns about the degree of accountability and openness in President Tinubu’s cabinet as well as the larger political environment.
Stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds will be closely monitoring the situation to see how these comments and meetings affect Nigeria’s political landscape and system of government. Effective leadership and responsible governance are still in great demand, as seen by the demands for truth and integrity at the highest levels of government.
