Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent member of the Labour Party (LP), has strongly criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu for presenting a list of 47 individuals as nominees for ministerial roles.
Expressing his dismay, Okonkwo questioned the rationale behind establishing what he characterized as ‘the largest and most inflated administrative structure globally.’ This questioning came at a time when, in his perspective, the nation is on a trajectory towards becoming one of the world’s most economically challenged countries.
He shared this in a tweet via his twitter handle on Thursday.
He contended that, according to the constitution, the allowance is for only 37 ministers, rather than the 47 nominees that have been put forth.
“What a regime? We are heading towards being the poorest country in the world, and this regime is considering setting up the most bloated bureaucracy in the world, which will lead to the highest cost of governance in the world. 47 Ministers when the government is only compelled to have 37.
“The money to be used to pay them will eventually be extorted from Nigerians through inordinate taxing and over-pricing of essential commodities and borrowing from outside sources because APC regimes produce nothing. I pity Nigerians under this clueless regime,” he tweeted.
