A former militant commander and mayor of Urhoboland, Eshanakpe Israel also referred to as Akpodoro has said that many of Tinubu’s appointees are only known when searched on google since they hardly ever interact with the public or aggressively promote the administration’s accomplishments.
The former militant attacked the ministers, calling them unresponsive and invisible to the people.
The National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators (NCNDE-A) President chastised the ministers for their lack of interaction with the public and government supporters during a stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja.
“The ministers are only known through Google Search because they don’t talk or appear in public,” he said.
Akpodoro, a follower of President Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ voiced his worry that a large number of the ministers are functioning poorly and have turned away from the public.
He stated that the government’s reputation has suffered as a result of their silence, which has left a communication gap that has allowed harmful rumours to spread unchecked.
“The administration has done well, but its appointees are keeping mute, giving room for damaging rumours, which make the government unpopular because citizens lack information,” Akpodoro pointed out.
He added that these ministers rarely respond to calls or messages, creating a barrier for those seeking to help the government.
“They won’t work and won’t allow public-spirited individuals to support the government. They hardly take calls or respond to text messages.
“They are not loyal and patriotic to the government and should give way for those with reformative, innovative ideas and capacity for interaction with the people,” Akpodoro continued.
The former militant commander backed recent requests that President Tinubu reorganise his cabinet, arguing in favour of a more vibrant and adaptable group of ministers.
“They are not marketing the administration but are sleeping on duty,” he said.
He demanded that government communication tactics be changed right away to highlight the administration’s accomplishments across a number of industries.
“Our love and passion for this administration turned us into evangelists of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We believe in President Tinubu’s government and will continue to support its policies,” Akpodoro said.
