In recent times, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership has come under scrutiny due to a series of perceived missteps and questionable decisions.

The manner in which he navigates the complexities of governance and decision-making has raised concerns about his ability to lead effectively.

From delayed ministerial appointments to controversial reshuffling, the spotlight is on his leadership style.

One of the primary indicators of a leader’s competence lies in their team-building skills. After his victory, President Tinubu had approximately three months to assemble a team of capable individuals to aid him in governing.

However, the delay in forming a concrete team within the stipulated timeframe raised eyebrows. According to the law, he had 60 days to present his list of ministerial nominees to the senate for screening and clearance.

This delay seemed to suggest either a lack of preparedness or indecisiveness in crucial matters.

Adding to the concerns was the oversight in the process of presenting ministerial designates. Notably, the omission of his campaign spokesman, Festus Keyamo (SAN), from the initial list raised questions about President Tinubu’s attention to detail.

The subsequent inclusion of Keyamo’s name after the omission stirred speculation about the decision-making process within the administration. Additionally, the removal of a promising young lady’s name from the list, only for it to be reinstated, fueled confusion about who holds the reins of power.

A point of contention lies in the disparities between the treatment of different political figures. Prominent figures like Mallam El-Rufai faced public embarrassment and name-calling, while others like Fashola, Adeyeye, Kekemeke, Aregbesola, and Teslim seemed to have escaped similar fates.

The perceived inconsistency in treatment raises questions about the fairness and impartiality of President Tinubu’s decision-making. Why some individuals are subjected to public scrutiny while others appear to enjoy preferential treatment remains an area of concern.

Furthermore, the gender bias apparent in certain decisions adds another layer of complexity to the analysis. Individuals like Dr. Maryam Shetty and Oketete were seemingly left to bear the consequences of their actions without the same level of support or redemption as their male counterparts.

This raises questions about the extent to which gender considerations play a role in President Tinubu’s decision-making process. A leader’s ability to treat all members of society equitably is paramount to fostering a just and inclusive society.

The recent redeployment of ministers who are yet to assume office has equally triggered a critical backlash. This move serves as the final straw that broke the camel’s back, igniting further scrutiny into the administration’s actions. Questions abound regarding who initiated the initial deployment of ministers and who orchestrated the subsequent reshuffling.

These actions beg for clarity and transparency, as citizens deserve to know the motivations behind these decisions.

Among the notable decisions is the cancellation of the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta Development.

This move raises concerns about the government’s commitment to addressing critical regional issues. Additionally, the vacant seat in the Federal Ministry of Youth leaves citizens wondering who will step in to champion the concerns and aspirations of the younger generation.

These vacant positions underscore the importance of effective leadership and strategic decision-making to ensure the smooth functioning of government departments.

As the nation grapples with these developments, it’s essential to address the fundamental question: Who is truly in charge? The apparent inconsistencies, oversights, and questionable decisions paint a picture of a leader facing challenges in balancing the demands of governance.

The intricate web of politics, power dynamics, and decision-making processes seems to have entangled President Tinubu’s administration.

In conclusion, the recent series of decisions and actions taken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration have raised concerns about his leadership style and decision-making abilities.

From delayed ministerial appointments to controversial reshuffling and gender biases, these actions have ignited discussions about the effectiveness and fairness of his governance. As citizens seek clarity on the motivations behind these decisions, the nation awaits an accountable and transparent response from its leader. Only time will reveal the long-term impact of these decisions on the nation’s trajectory.
