Ministerial list: Incompetent and mismatched portfolios – Daniel Bwala

Daniel Bwala, an assistant to Atiku Abubakar, the previous presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the recent general election, has asserted that certain positions allocated by President Bola Tinubu to his ministers do not align correctly. Bwala made these remarks during an appearance on the Politics Today program on Channels Television last Thursday.

He expressed that he had reservations over the portfolios, arguing that some square pegs were put in round holes

“I have reservations about so many of Tinubu’s ministers. I will caption my reservation as square pegs in round holes and the challenge of Renewed Hope. There are people who are not competent enough, in my view, to be on the list.

“There are people who are competent, but their portfolios are mismatched. Hannatu for example is made the minister of culture while her counterpart, Betta Edu is made minister of humanitarian.

“Secondly, the minister of state defence was a former governor who all through the four years his rating in fighting insecurity is 5 over 100. And now you made him minister of state to administer what?” He asked.
