Tinubu Should Sack Oyetola Over Poor Performance – Osun PDP

.…Says Minister Wasted Nominee, Lacks Administrative Prowess

The Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on President Bola Tinubu to sack the immediate-past governor of the state, Mr Gboyega Oyetola as the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy.

The party said Tinubu would be saving Oyetola from an unrelenting national embarrassment by relieving him as a Minister labelling him a ‘wasted nominee and a very bad signpost for the president’s administration.’

PDP in a statement signed by the party’s chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi, said Oyetola has been a subject of consistently poor ratings amongst the Ministers.

It said the situation has attracted the anger of the citizenry against the judgement of the President to appoint him despite his bad record while in office as the Governor of Osun state.

The party said the seeming verdict of incompetence hammered on Oyetola as vindicated the electorates in Osun.

“The poor ratings of Mr Oyetola as a Minister from Nigerians come as no surprise to us as a party and Osun people in general. During his tenure as Osun Governor, he displayed his lack of leadership acumen much to the disdain of Osun people. His penchant for shying away from responsibility is legendary,” Bisi said.

Bisi added that Oyetola’s streams of disgrace got to a head when he was named as principal among the five worst Ministers with no record of performance since assumption of office.

He said the Minister has successfully exported his lack of administrative prowess to the entire country.

“The public outcry calling on President Tinubu to expunge him out of the federal cabinet, barely eight months in office, has vindicated the people of Osun state who voted him out of office.”

He added, “It is sad that Mr Oyetola is disgracing himself at the National level with his abysmal performance as a Minister of the federal republic, his cluelessness is fast becoming an identity. Osun is known for sending out the best performers until Mr Oyetola fought tooth and nail to hijack the Ministerial slot reserved for the state. Check the list of past Ministers from Osun, Oyetola is just a sorry exception from the list of those wonderful performers.

“What is more worrisome is that Nigerians predicted this outcome, stressing that his inclusion in the cabinet is more about his personal relationship with the President than his credentials as a public officer. He has shown to his most optimistic supporters that he is not only clueless about the knowledge of the Ministry he is meant to lead, he also lacks the required administrative capacity or the mental stamina to direct the affairs of the Ministry.”
