He said during an interview on The Mic On Show:

"His team that I’m seeing now, I’m sorry, is even worse than Muhammadu Buhari’s team.”

The media entrepreneur continued:

“What I expected was a star-studded cabinet. I like to regale myself with the sweet memory of President Ibrahim Babangida cabinet in these days. We remember them today.

“Most of the people who are appointed now, and I’m a journalist, trust me, I don’t know them.

“Under Babangida, I remember Chief Alex Akinyele, I remember Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, I remember Prince Bolasodun Ajibola, I remember so many of them with fun memories. You cannot say that today.

“A lot of the people. Someone is appointed, she is on her way to screening, you remove her, that’s disgraceful, that shouldn’t happen."

Furthermore, Momodu accused President Tinubu of not doing due diligence before making his appointments, citing the controversy that followed the sudden withdrawal of Maryam Shetty's name.
