‘You’re Ministers of Nigeria, Not Regions or States’, President Tinubu Tells 45 New Cabinet Members.

"Anyway, as I protested in my previous post on the Ministerial list, (IS THE FEDERAL CHARACTER STUPID? August 19, 2023), I want to reinstate that it's not ideal to have DEFENSE, DEPUTY DEFENSE, INTERIOR, POLICE AFFAIRS, DEPUTY POLICE AFFAIRS, AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS from the same region." By Barr Alex Ehi Aidaghese - Culled from "On the Ministerial Redeployment" August 21, 2023, 9.10 AM

"You are not a minister of a particular state, colony, region, or ethnic nationality. You are a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,"

"This is all about the cohesion and work of a great team, and I believe we now have it. It is an honour to be chosen to serve as a minister in the Federal Executive Council, and such a high honour comes with tremendous responsibility. In this moment of abundant promise and peril in equal measure, all of you who have been sworn in have been called to distinguish yourselves. Nigerians are highly expectant of excellence in service delivery, accountability, and transparency." - President Ahmed Bola Tinubu. August 21, 2023, Noon.
