Malik Ado-Ibrahim, the Young Progressives Party (YPP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has urged President Bola Tinubu to reshuffle his cabinet, stating that the president is surrounded by the wrong team.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television's Sunday Politics, Ado-Ibrahim criticized the composition of Tinubu's cabinet, suggesting that the president has been unable to translate his vision into reality due to the caliber of persons working with him.

"Now, in my own opinion, most of what the president has, as far as his cabinet is concerned, should be refreshed. They're done," the YPP chieftain stated.

He emphasized that the president needs to bring in fresh faces to restore public confidence in his administration. "He needs to freshen up this cabinet. He needs to give people more confidence," Ado-Ibrahim added.

The former presidential candidate further advised that Tinubu needs to be more strategic in his appointments, focusing on individuals who can effectively implement his plans rather than simply assigning ministerial positions without clear directives.

"I think he needs to have a plan and get those who can implement those plans, not just give a guy a post and say, 'You're a health minister, go do healthy stuff.' You need an administrator," he explained.

Ado-Ibrahim's comments come amid growing public discourse about the effectiveness of President Tinubu's cabinet in addressing Nigeria's pressing economic and social challenges.

The Presidency has not yet responded to these suggestions for a cabinet reshuffle.
