Criticism of Executive Cabinet Performance
Veteran Nollywood actor Charles Inojie has publicly condemned the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s ministers, labeling the current cabinet as abysmally decrepit. In a social media post shared on Wednesday, Inojie argued that the lack of public recognition for many ministers is a direct symptom of their administrative failures. According to Inojie, the vast majority of these officials are unable to effectively manage their portfolios, leading to a situation where citizens remain largely unaware of who holds specific leadership roles within the government.
Ministers Described as Institutional Liabilities
The actor’s critique extends beyond simple performance metrics, characterizing the bulk of the cabinet as a burden to the nation. Inojie asserted that these ministers serve as liabilities not only to the President who appointed them but also to the masses they are meant to support. Aside from a very small and "inconsequential" minority, the actor described the group as wayfarers who lack the necessary expertise to drive national progress. According to Inojie, this perceived incompetence has created a disconnect between the executive branch and the needs of the Nigerian people.
Campaign Visibility Versus Governance
Inojie further observed that many cabinet members appear to prioritize political optics over actual governance. He noted that ministers frequently utilize campaign rallies as a primary platform to be seen, suggesting that such public appearances are a substitute for meaningful legislative or administrative work. This reliance on political events, according to the actor, is a tactical move to project activity in the absence of tangible results. Inojie lamented that this shift in focus from service to self-promotion represents a troubling low point in the country's political history.
