President Bola Tinubu has issued a stern warning to Ministers, cabinet members, and other appointees, stating he will not hesitate to sack anyone who fails to meet expectations, Okay.ng reports.

Speaking on Thursday at the State House in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized his commitment to the nation’s progress and the accountability of his administration.

During an address to the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) visiting the Presidential Villa, President Tinubu acknowledged the efforts of his cabinet but made it clear that underperformance would not be tolerated.

“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.

In his speech, Tinubu also called on the ACF to urge state Governors to ensure the effectiveness of the 774 local government areas in Nigeria. He stressed the importance of recognizing the independence of local governments as outlined in the constitution and their role in addressing the needs of the people.

“We are running a constitutional democracy. 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,” Tinubu stated.

He further highlighted the significance of local governments in the daily lives of Nigerians, noting that their efficiency is crucial for development and service delivery.

“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. We have 774 local government areas, but are they truly effective? Do they solve problems for Nigerians? Do they coordinate development programming with the state and federal governments?”

President Tinubu questioned the accountability of local governments and suggested that it might be time to reevaluate their effectiveness. “Who is being held accountable for the performance of the 774 local governments? 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 concluded.
