A former president Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his first anniversary, calling on Nigerians to support the administration.

Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) took over from his party chieftain Buhari on May 29th, 2023.

One year into Tinubu’s administration, Buhari on Tuesday wished him a successful stint as president.

“The former president appealed to all citizens to continue to strengthen the thread of national unity and goodwill,” Buhari’s spokesman Garba Shehu said in a statement.

“He also appealed to them to give their blessings and support to the Tinubu administration, so that it can succeed in its efforts to build the Nigeria of our dreams.

“President Buhari expressed his wishes for a successful tenure in office by the Tinubu administration.”

Tinubu’s planned cabinet reshuffle won’t make any difference, says Buba Galadima

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), says President Bola Tinubu‘s planned cabinet reshuffle would not make any difference.

On September 25, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said Tinubu “has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet and he will do it”.

Speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels TV on Friday, Galadima said reshuffling the cabinet would not curb food inflation.

Galadima claimed that the president intends to reward his cronies with the reshuffle.

“That (planned cabinet reshuffle) has nothing to do with me or any Nigerian. What is of importance to all of us is bringing down the harsh conditions of living and the buck stops only on the table of one man. That is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Galadima said.

“No amount of reshuffling can make a difference. As far as that team is only ‘job for the boys,’ nothing will come out of it.

“Anybody that calls himself president or governor is responsible for their cabinet’s performance. He should be told that some of his appointees are more interested in their pockets than service delivery.

“I expected him to do better than this; and to hit the ground running.”

The NNPP chieftain asked Tinubu to find a solution to the country’s foreign exchange crisis “which has seen the naira performing abysmally”.

There have been growing calls from Nigerians and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Tinubu to reshuffle his cabinet and remove underperforming ministers.

Tinubu’s policies have driven petrol prices to record highs and depreciated the naira to record lows since he assumed the reins on May 29, 2023.
