Okocha made these remarks on Sunday in Abuja during a session at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) news forum.
He highlighted that President Tinubu’s accomplishments have been significantly underreported, suggesting that the ministers are not adequately informing Nigerians about the administration’s successes.
“President Tinubu’s achievements are not in the public domain because most of his ministers failed to do the needful and are not adding value to the administration and the country,” he said.
Okocha emphasized the need for ministers to be more proactive in communicating the government’s achievements, arguing that it is essential to promote the administration’s successes.
“Gone are the days when they say don’t blow your trumpet yourself. These days, you have to blow it loud,” he added.
Reflecting on the challenges faced by the current government, Okocha noted that despite inheriting a difficult situation, the Tinubu-led administration has made strides that deserve recognition.
He contrasted Tinubu’s administration’s performance with former President Muhammadu Buhari, whom he criticized for poor governance. “The current government is working round the clock to reset the country,” he stated.
Okocha also pointed out that many ministers in the current administration are relatively unknown due to their lack of impact and failure to engage in effective public relations.
He specifically praised former Rivers governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike for his visibility, attributing it to his ability to share his achievements through media relationships.
“The president’s achievements in less than two years are unsung; until he has a broadcast, you won’t know what he has done,” Okocha remarked
He called for a shake-up in the cabinet, suggesting that ministers who are not performing should be replaced with more competent individuals. “Some of these ministers who are not doing well should be sacked to make way for more serious ones,” he advised.
