The Ibadan-born legal practitioner commended President Tinubu for respecting federal character in the nomination and expressed confidence in the appointment of Bayo Adelabu as the minister of power.

Lawyer lists 3 concerns about Tinubu's ministers
According to Adeagbo, the three reasons Nigerians should be worried about President Tinubu's ministers are listed below:
Repayment of the assignments
The legal icon described some of the minister-designates as a repayment of the assignments and good works they have done for Mr. President.
He said:
"Some of the appointments seem to be like repayment of the assignments and good works some did during the electioneering period. Wike for example."
Compliment for the loss of holding office
Adeagbo maintained that some of the appointments are to complement the loss of holding office.
The Ibadan-born lawyer said:
"Some are just to compliment for the loss of holding office. For example, Former Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola."
Recycling of old face
According to the legal luminary, Nigerians should be worried about the recycling of old politicians into President Tinubu's cabinet.
He said:
"Why one should be worried is that the same old faces are still the ones we are seeing."
Adeagbo went further to commend the President in his overall reviews of the development. He said:
How be it, I'm confident in the choices of our President.
The appointments cut across all Geo-political zones. It reflects the true Federal Character of our Country.
I'm really confident in the appointment of BAYO ADELABU as the Minister for Power.
