Protest: Former SGF urges Tinubu to reshuffle cabinet

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has advised President Bola Tinubu to reshuffled his cabinet, recommending a balanced composition of both technical experts (technocrats) and experienced political figures.
Babachir Lawal offered this guidance in a statement released on Tuesday, coinciding with preparations by youths across the country for a series of nationwide demonstrations against poor governance, widespread hunger, and economic hardship.
According to the former SGF, politicians possess a unique ability to effectively connect and communicate with the populace, and have a greater vested interest in the accomplishments or shortcomings of an administration.
“These Lagos technocrats who now fill the MDAs lack knowledge of the workings of Nigeria. Majority of them are rude, inaccessible, clannish”, he said.
Lawal also asked Tinubu to immediately address the nation, outlining immediate and long-term measures out of the current economic quagmire, if indeed he is desirous of staving off the planned nationwide protests against his administration.
Lawal said Tinubu should in his address come up with persuasive arguments intended to placate the angry and hungry citizens.
“Under the current climate, Nigerians cannot be intimidated by this government nor do they respect it. So avoid the macho tough talk. In the proposed address to the nation, enumerate concrete and believable policies of government intended to address current challenges on an immediate, medium and long term basis”, he stated.
