Ajuri Ngelale, a spokesperson for the president, stated that Tinubu is not scared to fire people and won't tolerate failure.

According to the president's spokeswoman, Ajuri Ngelale, President Bola Tinubu has set specific objectives for each sector of the nation and will not put up with failure from any of his recently appointed ministers. 

Ngelale, who participated in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, August 28, said that the President established "a series of reform committees across all the sectors" during the time between his election as president-elect and his inauguration on May 29.

He stated: 

The President has set the benchmarks. The question now is about enforcements and the President has shown, as he did during his time in Lagos State as governor, that he is not someone that is afraid to fire anybody. 

“He is not somebody that is afraid to levy quick sanctions to ensure that they get the results that he wants ’cause, ultimately, if this administration fails, they will not say a minister failed or a set of ministers failed. They will say President Bola Tinubu failed, and he will not accept failure.

"Tinubu basically looked at exactly what His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari has achieved and said, ‘This is what we want to do to build on all these achievements. 

“We’re going to effectively implement a plan within a certain amount of time based on time-based benchmarks that when a minister has come in, we would be able to measure their performance against.’

“Every minister coming in absolutely knows what they have to achieve within the time frame that’s been given to them by the President and that’s something in the history of Nigerian governance we’ve never seen before.
