To ensure delivery of the “Renewed Hope Agenda” a support group of the ruling party, the APC Stakeholders Forum has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to put in place a six-month evaluation mechanism of his Ministers with a view to relieving underperforming appointees.

The forum noted that the success of the Tinubu administration and the delivery of all the electioneering campaign promises would greatly depend on the performance and otherwise of political appointees, especially the Ministers.

National Chairman of the forum, Hon. Abdullahi Aliyu Katsina, told newsmen in Abuja that the call became necessary due to the lack of lustre approach of some appointees, stressing that President Tinubu-led Government can only succeed when members of his cabinet share the same vision of working for Nigerians and her greatness.

He said that the forum has resolved to continually beam its searchlight on the activities of all the Ministers and other appointees in critical positions to put them on their toes and ensure performance.

According to Kastina, “We are hereby using this medium to request President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to understand that the success of his administration is largely on the commitment of his ministers. We are requesting you please introduce measures that could help you identify performing and underperforming ministers so you can fire all underperforming ones out of your cabinet.

“This time around APC family is not ready to remain silent about any factor undermining the government of the good people of Nigeria.

“Relieving underperforming ministers is the only way to the success of this government, there are challenges in the country.

“We cannot fire any Minister but we can advise Mr. President. He could evaluate his Ministers and this he should do every six months and fire anyone that is underperforming,” he said.

When told that the duration suggested was too short, Kastina quipped, “Within the first two months of appointment, a Minister should come up with a template of what he or she will do to ensure the delivery of the “Renewed Hope Agenda as it affects his or her assignment.”

Kastina noted that since the inauguration of President Tinubu’s cabinet about two months ago, the forum admitted some level of commitment, initiative and hard work of some Ministers in driving the vision of the President. (The Nation)
