Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman to ex-Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has claimed some government agents do not believe in President Bola Tinubu.
Bwala claimed that these agents believed they would incur the wrath of the people by depending on Tinubu’s administration.
He spoke on Channels Television while reacting to Tinubu’s planned cabinet reshuffling.
On Wednesday, the Presidency confirmed a cabinet reshuffle.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that the President was indeed tinkering with the idea of rejigging his Council, but declined to be specific on how soon the Ministers will be moved around or dropped.
Reacting, Bwala said: “Some agents of the government, very sadly, their attitude suggests that they don’t even believe in the president. They prefer to play it safe; they feel that if they depend on the government, they will incur the wrath of the people. They want to be clever by half.”

Over-dependence on oil will make Nigeria vulnerable — Speaker, Abbas
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, says continued over-dependence on oil by Nigeria will only lead to inequality, greater poverty among Nigerians and mass unemployment.
Abbas made this statement at the 14th convocation lecture of the Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin on Monday, adding that Nigeria should harness its abundant resources and human capital to diversify its economy.
The Speaker explained that to secure Nigeria’s economic future, the country must decisively move beyond oil and develop sustainable pathways for inclusive growth.
“With dwindling oil revenues, global shifts toward renewable energy, and the increasing need for job-creation, it is imperative that we chart a new course for economic transformation.
“This requires deliberate efforts to unlock the potential of other sectors, such as agriculture, solid minerals, technology and the creative industries.
“Achieving this transformation will secure Nigeria’s economic future and address poverty, inequality and unemployment —- critical barriers to sustainable development,” he said.
The Speaker also said examples of such countries toeing that line are Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, UAE.
According to him, Nigeria’s economic transformation demands collective responsibility, stressing that the government must lead with visionary policies, transparent governance and strategic investments in infrastructure and education.
Abbas further stated that the legislature on its part should continue to ensure enabling legislation and ensure rigorous oversight of policies and programmes aimed at diversification.
He, however, explained that the academia has a vital role in conducting research, generating data-driven insights and developing skills essential for the new economy.
The Speaker, who charged the country’s universities to strengthen collaborations with industries in order to drive innovation and entrepreneurship, said the private sector must embrace investments in emerging industries.
He added that the private sector should support small and medium scale enterprises and leverage technology to boost productivity.
