He stressed that the administration of Bola Tinubu would not repeat the mistake of the ruling party in 2015 where it took ex-President Muhammadu Buhari about six months before appointing members of his cabinet.

“I am sure the list of Tinubu’s cabinet members is on his table. He will never take that for granted. He is not going to allow it to waste any minute of his time. He understands the game very well and plans from Day One.’’
