The controversy surrounding James Ibori’s nominee for the Delta state ministerial slot in President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s cabinet has been revealed.
It is reported that Ibori has nominated Mofe Boyo, an oil industry player, for the position.
This nomination is believed to be due to Boyo’s business partnership with Wale Tinubu and others in OANDO oil company.
However, concerns have been raised about potential conflicts of interest if Boyo were to become a regulator in the oil industry.
In the past, the International Oil Companies (IOCs) rejected Boyo’s nomination during President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
The ministerial nomination in Delta state is still uncertain, and it is rumored that the nominee will be a surprise to many.
Ibori’s ultimate goal is to take over the All-Progressives Congress (APC) structure in Delta state and groom David Edewe for governorship in 2027.
President Tinubu’s focus for his cabinet is to have vibrant technocrats who can assist him in developing the nation and gaining favor with Nigerians.
However, he also recognizes the importance of seasoned politicians in his cabinet to strengthen his winning capacity in the next election.
The balance between technocrats and seasoned politicians is crucial for Tinubu to achieve his goals and put the nation on the right track.
