President Tinubu to Reshuffle Cabinet with Fresh Faces; See when and why
President Bola Tinubu is set to undertake a major cabinet reshuffle in the coming week, aiming to inject fresh talent and new perspectives into his administration. This anticipated move, as reported by a high-ranking source close to the presidency, is designed to address the performance stagnation that has plagued the current cabinet.
Fresh from a visit to China, President Tinubu plans to complete the cabinet dissolution before attending the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. This strategic timing is meant to ensure that the president can represent Nigeria on the global stage without the distraction of domestic political issues.
The presidency has been criticized for the performance of several ministers, leading to the decision to replace them. According to the source, President Tinubu is dissatisfied with the current cabinet and is preparing a new lineup to fill the soon-to-be-vacant positions.
Speculation about whether the recent resignation of presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale is connected to the reshuffle has been addressed by insiders, who clarified that Ngelale’s departure is unrelated to the forthcoming administrative changes.
Interestingly, the reshuffle may include the reappointment of former ministers from the Buhari administration, with rumors suggesting that some familiar faces could return to prominent roles in the new cabinet.
