President Bola Tinubu will not accept failure from any minister and is not afraid to fire any of them who does not deliver, Presidential Spokesman Ajuri Ngelale said Monday.

Mr. Ajule said the President had shown during his time as Lagos State governor that he was not one to shy away from removing dead woods.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily Mr Ngelale said “He is not somebody that is afraid to levy quick sanctions to ensure that they get the results that he wants ’cause, ultimately, if this administration fails, they will not say a minister failed or a set of ministers failed. They will say President Bola Tinubu failed, and he will not accept failure.”

The President’s spokesman disclosed that since his victory at the February 25 election Mr Tinubu had busied himself setting clear goals for each sector in the country and will not tolerate failure from either of his recently inaugurated ministers.

“The President has set the benchmarks,” the Senior Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity noted and the question now is about enforcements and the President has shown, as he did during his time in Lagos State as governor, that he is not someone that is afraid to fire anybody,” he said.

According to Mr Ngelale, the President used the interim period between his emergence as the president-elect and his inauguration on May 29 to set up “a series of reform committees across all the sectors. [Tinubu] basically looked at exactly what His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari has achieved and said, ‘This is what we want to do to build on all these achievements,” Ngelale explained.

“We’re going to effectively implement a plan within a certain amount of time based on time-based benchmarks that when a minister has come in, we would be able to measure their performance against.

“Every minister coming in absolutely knows what they have to achieve within the time frame that’s been given to them by the President and that’s something in the history of Nigerian governance we’ve never seen before.”
