Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, on Monday criticised the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Lawal said he would not have coped in the current administration if he were a member of the President’s cabinet.
According to him, he would have resigned if he were a member of the Tinubu government.
“I thank God that I didn’t make the mistake of being in this government ab initio,” he said.
“If I were in this government, I probably would have been sacked a long time ago, killed or resigned.”
Lawal said he was comfortable with Tinubu’s governance style.
The former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) accused Tinubu’s government of nepotism, citing the appointments made by the President.
“I cannot go to a meeting in which 99 per cent of the participants are Yoruba. The tendency is that they finish the meeting in their language, and I am just sitting there.
“When we were doing the campaign, after he went to Ogun and said ’emi lokan,’ there was a Bola Tinubu platform in which I was participating.
“They started insulting us, saying that northerners are illiterate. So I wrote on that platform that these are the people whose votes we would need.
“The problem with the Yoruba is that when you support them and they win, they behave as if they have subdued you. They will not count your support,” the former SGF said.
