- He also appealed to state governments to prioritize the needs of local communities
President Bola Tinubu says he will not hesitate to relieve them of their duties members of his cabinet who are not performing up to standard.
Tinubu, who promised to continue to do his best for the country, disclosed that any minister who is not meeting the expectations of Nigerian will be shown the way out of his government.
He spoke on Thursday at a meeting with the leadership of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“I thank the cabinet members for their efforts, but I will relieve any of them of their duties anytime I feel that they are failing Nigerians,” he said.
He also appealed to state governments to prioritize the needs of local communities by ensuring accountability and effectiveness in the administration of local governments.
“I will appeal to you to summon the governors. I am doing my very best to enhance the revenue base of the country. They must equally be sympathetic, and they must urgently consider the needs of the local people.
“People reside in the local communities. That is where they work, farm, and live. If the local governments are not effective in delivering services; as leaders, we must not hang on to the numbers.
“Maybe we should look at recalibrating. What was good four years ago may not be good today. When we want the votes, we go to the locals; when we get the votes, we move to and focus on Abuja,” he said
