He stated this while speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, The Morning Brief on Thursday, September 26.

Tinubu's key aide, Bayo Onanuga, explained that there is no fixed timeline for the reshuffle.

The former Atiku’s ally said it is the prerogative of President Tinubu to decide on ministers who will remain and those who will leave.

According to Bwala, anybody who claims to know the ministers that will be sacked and those retained are just second-guessing.

“So, the president is assessing whether some people believe in his administration because if they do you will be a messenger of what you believe in. But as to say who should go or who should stay is the prerogative of the president, only the president knows who will go and who will stay.
