Shittu made the comment while reacting to the current retreat that President Tinubu's ministers are attending.

Shittu comments on Tinubu's administrative style

The Oyo-born politician's comment reads in part:

“Buhari did not give anybody any threat. As I said, Buhari is not Tinubu, and Tinubu is not Buhari. What I know of Buhari, with all due respect to him, he is a more reserved person. When he gives a job to somebody, he will never ask how they go about it.
“I have to say this for the national interest so that the government who comes after him should do something about it. In the Buhari government, if you don’t go and meet him, probably in the next four years, he will not ask about you."

The former minister further noted that the administration of former President Buhari lacked supervision, while urging the Tinubu's government not to make the same mistake.
