Your Excellency,
I write to you as a concerned citizen who desires nothing but peace, stability, and progress for our dear state. Leadership is a sacred responsibility, and those who occupy positions of power must constantly evaluate whether their appointees are serving the people with diligence and competence.
Your administration has taken off with the expectations of millions of citizens resting on your shoulders. However, the current realities in the state demand urgent action, particularly in the area of security. The lives and property of the people remain under constant threat, and this calls for a fresh approach that is practical, innovative, and proactive.
The Case for Cabinet Reshuffle
Sir, it is no longer news that the performance of certain cabinet members has fallen short of the standard required to meet the challenges before us. A government’s strength lies not only in the vision of the governor but also in the quality of those chosen to implement that vision.
There is an urgent need to reshuffle your cabinet, bringing in individuals with integrity, competence, and the courage to deliver. In particular, the role of the Security Adviser must be reconsidered. The rising wave of insecurity, ranging from kidnapping to communal clashes, has shown clear gaps in intelligence gathering, rapid response, and preventive measures. The people deserve a security team that is proactive, strategic, and trustworthy.
Why It Matters
A weak cabinet is a heavy burden on any administration. It drains public confidence and slows down progress. But a dynamic team, led by capable hands, strengthens the governor’s vision and restores citizens’ hope in governance.
Your Excellency, your political journey has just begun. The legacy you build today will either be remembered as one of bold leadership or wasted opportunities. The time to act decisively is now.
A Call to Action
We therefore appeal to you to:
- Reshuffle your cabinet to bring in fresh, capable minds.
- Replace or strengthen the office of the Security Adviser with someone who has both the expertise and credibility to tackle insecurity.
- Prioritize competence over loyalty — because at the end of the day, it is results that matter.
Your Excellency, history will judge every decision you make. Let it be said that when the state faced critical challenges, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo rose to the occasion with courage and foresight.
