Tony Okocha, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Rivers Caretaker Committee chairman, said on Sunday in Abuja that President Bola Tinubu’s ministers were not adding value to the current administration.

Mr Okocha said this while speaking at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) news forum, where he stated that Mr Tinubu’s achievements were grossly underreported and there was a need for his ministers to do more to enlighten Nigerians on 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.

“Gone are the days when they say don’t blow your trumpet yourself. These days, you have to blow it loud,” he said.

He added that despite challenges, the Tinubu-led administration had not done badly, considering it had inherited a bad situation.

Mr Okocha said while President Mohammadu Buhari’s administration performed abysmally low, the current government was working round the clock to reset the country.

He said it was unfortunate that most of the ministers in Mr Tinubu’s administration were unknown because they were not making an impact and lacked propaganda to sell the government and its work.

“The president’s achievements in less than two years are unsung; until he has a broadcast, you won’t know what he has done.

“Someone has to be responsible for telling Nigerians what the administration is doing in the various ministries, and all of those combined are the president’s achievements,” Mr Okocha said.

He said Nyesom Wike, a former Rivers governor and the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had been very visible because he tells his story himself through his media friendship.

The APC chair added that Mr Tinubu needs good hands to deliver his Renewed Hope Agenda.

”Some of these ministers who are not doing well should be sacked to make way for more serious ones,” he said.

On the involvement of youths in the Tinubu-led administration, Mr Okocha said the administration was not anti-youth.

He expressed optimism that the APC would win the 2027 presidential election because, according to him, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently a hammerhouse of horror.
