45 ministers are insufficient for Nigeria, says an APC chieftain

President Bola Tinubu’s selection of 45 ministers, according to All Progressives Congress president Aliyu Audu, is insufficient. Audu is a member of the party’s Presidential Transition Council’s Media Strategy Subcommittee.

This was said by Audu on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday.

While not stating a particular number of ministers to be appointed, he said, “I don’t think 45 is even enough. I don’t think 48 is enough. We have a population of over 200 million. We are in a crisis.”

According to Audu, it was widely acknowledged that more local governments needed to be established in order to bring governance closer to the people during Bola Tinubu’s term as governor of Lagos State.

“A lot of people thought he was taking it too far but look at how Lagos has moved in 24 years and how every other state has moved in 24 years.

“I’m not talking about potential. I’m not talking about what it used to be before but I’m talking about sheer growth between then and now,” he said.
