Raheem Akingbolu takes a critical look at the performance of the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, since assuming office in August, 2023.
At the beginning of the current administration, a few political juggernauts who played pivotal roles in the triumph of President Bola Tinubu at the polls in 2023 were already singled out by members of the public as likely cabinet members.
Top among them were; Senator David Umahi, a former Governor of Ebonyi State; Alhaji Abubakar Badaru, the immediate Governor of Jigawa State; Senator Atiku Bagudu, the immediate past Governor of Kebbi State; and, of course,Mr Dele Alake, a two-term commissioner in Lagos State.
