President Tinubu Appointed Those Who Should Be In Jail As Ministers - Ex-APC Spokesperson

A former National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena has expressed disappointment with President Bola Tinubu’s choice of Ministerial nominees.

Speaking during an interview with Sunday Sun, the APC chieftain noted that the calibre of persons Tinubu put together during his tenure as the Lagos State Governor are far superior to those he assembled as ministers.

In his words, “I want to put on record that I am still a member of APC till tomorrow, but as a member of the party, I will tell you that I am disappointed with the calibre of persons President Tinubu assembled.

“President Tinubu has always boasted about the quality of persons he assembled as the governor of Lagos State. And you can truly see how they have been nurtured to become influential leaders. But as far as the capacity of the people he assembled as ministers are concerned, he got it completely wrong.

“Yes, I know he has no choice because he cannot wish them away since they worked for his victory in their various states, especially the governors. The fact that politics has become the only business they know how to do, he cannot shut them out because they want to perpetually be in the corridors of power.

“I have always said that Lagos State cannot be the same as the whole country because some of his political allies are equally powerful persons in their states. At the national level, there are desperate politicians that don’t want to leave the corridors of power.

“What I thought Asiwaju would have done was to massage their influence by telling them to nominate persons that can do the work as compensation to them for what they did to ensure he won the election. It is disappointing seeing him nominate mostly past governors. People are angry that he went for former governors. Some of them are governors that failed in their states. Almost 90 per cent of the governors Tinubu appointed minister failed their people in the state. They have nothing to offer at the federal level.”
