ISLAMABAD: Analyst Hassan Ayub while appearing on Azaad Siasat’s exclusive podcast on Wednesday disclosed that Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif demands an early presence of her cabinet ministers daily.
“Maryam Nawaz’s governance model is very different. Her own cabinet ministers need to be present in the office at 9:00 AM in the morning. And she makes them work extensively,” stated the analyst on Wednesday.
“Apart from that, she has her own daily routine’s agenda and she follows that work agenda on daily basis. She is completely focus on her work. She’s weak in some areas but strong in some,” he added.
The analyst also opined on the recent remarks by President Asif Ali Zardari criticising the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for not consulting Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on key issues.
Ayub stated: “The federal government needs PPP but Punjab doesn’t. Maryam Nawaz has her own governance style and she doesn’t need PPP. They did not take any ministries in the federal cabinet because that comes with a responsibility.”
“PPP would jump in a second if they were offered ministries in the Punjab government because here they would enjoy the power,” he further added.
Hassan also commended CM Maryam Nawaz for organising a recent Horse and Cattle Show 2025 with the theme “May Punjab Prosper Forever.” The event was attended by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Syed Asim Munir along with CM Maryam on February 25.
