"Tinubu's ministers have to perform": Adeyemi
The former leader of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) warned the president's appointees that they have no option but to perform.
Adeyemi said:
“What Nigerians should know about President Bola Tinubu today, including those who are ministers, is that from his track record, once you don’t perform in six months, he shows you the way out. That’s what he’s going to do."
Adeyemi added:
"Those who are being nominated or given appointments, I celebrate you but if you don’t perform this man will show them (the way) out. It’s not a question of leaving them for eight years or four years."
