Phrank Shaibu, an aide to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has said that President is not ready for governance.
Phrank cited the fact that the president has failed to hold another Federal Executive Council meeting in 44 days.
FEC had their last meeting in August.
In a statement, Shuaibu said Tinubu is breaking section 148(2) of the 1999 constitution.
According to section 148(2) of the 1999 constitution, “the president shall hold regular meetings with the vice-president and all the ministers of the government of the federation for the purposes of determining domestic and foreign policies of the government”.
Shaibu has said that Tinubu’s inability to hold another FEC meeting is a proof that he’s not ready for governance.
His words:
“Tinubu is obviously not ready for governance. After appointing 48 ministers – the highest in history – he has decided not to be meeting with them,” he said.
“This contravenes section 148(2) of the 1999 constitution, which expressly provides that the president shall hold regular meetings with the vice-president and ministers for the purposes of determining domestic and foreign policies of the government.
It is bad enough that a man who claimed he would hit the ground running from day one took over 60 days to name all his ministers and took 84 days to inaugurate them. Even now, he has held only one cabinet meeting since the inauguration of the cabinet.
“For a man who has been gallivanting all over the place purportedly in search of foreign investors, it is laughable that he cannot even meet with his own team at home.”
He said the cabinet might not be having regular meetings because “they are clueless” and have “nothing to discuss”.
