WHY PRESIDENT TINUBU SHOULD EXCLUDE FORMER GOVERNORS FROM HIS CABINET

Ministerial List: President Tinubu Must Prioritize Competence Over Party Loyalty in Cabinet Appointments - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 

Introduction:

As Nigeria eagerly awaits the appointment of ministers by President Tinubu, it is crucial that he prioritizes competence and integrity over any other factors. Former governors and their lobbyists, with their stained records and corruption-related cases, should not be considered for ministerial positions. To fulfill his commitment of ensuring the best and brightest minds contribute to Nigeria's progress, President Tinubu must resist the pressure for party loyalty and instead focus on new, capable individuals who have not engaged in corrupt practices.

A Paradigm Shift to a New Beginning:

It is no secret that many former governors have failed to meet the expectations placed upon them and have instead prioritized personal gains over the development of their states. Now is the time for President Tinubu to usher in a new beginning by refusing to bring them back into the political arena. We need fresh faces, untainted by corruption scandals, who genuinely possess the capacity to empower Nigeria and drive the nation's development agenda.

Excluding former governors from his cabinet would be a prudent decision, considering the allegations of corruption that stain many of their reputations. This exclusion will ensure a brighter future for Nigeria, unhampered by past wrongdoings.

Competence and Commitment:

President Tinubu has a well-established reputation for recognizing talent and assembling capable teams. It is imperative that he continues this trend when forming his cabinet, ensuring that only the most competent individuals are selected. By doing so, he will demonstrate his firm commitment to moving Nigeria forward and counteract the perception that politics prevails over meritocracy.

By diverging from the practice of including former governors in his cabinet, President Tinubu can tap into a broader pool of talent. A selection process based on meritocracy and the identification of experts across various fields would ensure a highly competent team capable of driving meaningful change in Nigeria.

Opportunity for New Leaders:

Corruption has been a longstanding challenge in Nigeria. As the country strives to overcome this obstacle, it is crucial to ensure accountability and transparency in all branches of government. Yet, far too often, former governors have been implicated in corrupt practices, tarnishing their reputation and hampering the nation's progress. 

From misappropriating state funds to indulging in nepotism and maladministration, the credibility of some former governors has suffered significant damage. In light of this, it becomes imperative for President Tinubu to chart a new course and demonstrate a commitment to clean governance by not including them in his cabinet.

By excluding former governors from his cabinet, President Tinubu will send a strong message that the days of recycling leaders with questionable track records are over. This decision will instill confidence in the public that he genuinely wants what is best for the country. Moreover, it will pave the way for a paradigm shift, enabling new individuals with fresh perspectives and greater competence to showcase their expertise and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria's development.

Competence Exists Beyond Former Governors:

Contrary to the belief that only former governors possess the qualifications to lead, Nigeria boasts individuals in every state who are more than capable of delivering what is expected of them. These talented individuals, who have not succumbed to the lure of corruption, deserve the opportunity to contribute to the progress of the nation.

The popular opinion among Nigerians is that these former governors do not prioritize the country's interests and often act in self-serving ways. It is therefore essential that President Tinubu listens to the voices of the people and heeds their concerns. 

To steer Nigeria towards progress, it is essential to create an environment conducive to growth and development. Including former governors in the cabinet would only perpetuate a system plagued by corruption, stagnating the nation's potential.

Conclusion:

President Tinubu must resist the lobbying efforts of former governors and their affiliates vying for ministerial positions. By prioritizing competence over party loyalty and disqualifying individuals with corruption-related cases, he will show his unwavering commitment to the Renewed Hope mantra of the present administration. This move will not only set a precedent for future leaders but also reinforce the notion that Nigeria's progress can only be achieved through the appointment of individuals with impeccable credentials and a genuine desire to serve the nation. As President Tinubu embarks on this crucial task, he must remember that the future of Nigeria rests upon his ability to put the right people in the right positions.
