Ex-Governors On Tinubu’s Ministerial List Very Frustrating – CISLAC Says
The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Center (CISLAC), has declared that Nigerians are tired of some of the names on the Ministerial nominees, especially former Governors submitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Senate for screening and confirmation, stressing that such names are really frustrating Nigerians.
CISLAC specifically said that this was not the time for President Tinubu to compromise his cabinet by pleasing “political merchants”.
The Executive Director of CISLAC, Mr. Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, who stated these while reacting to the list submitted to the Senate, expressed grave concern over some of the former Governors who he noted have serious integrity issues, stressing that what the President merely did was to carry out political massaging by bringing in people he intends to compensate politically.
He queried why the much awaited list only carried some of the former Governors that have not obviously done what is being expected of them thereby frustrating the hopes of Nigerians.
Rafsanjani further said; “I think Tinubu has been caught up in the bid to satisfy some political interests. I don’t think Nigerians are looking for settlement of politicians. I think what Nigerians need at this point in time are people who can actually deliver not people who will do political massaging.
“Nigerians are tired of seeing names that have no capacity, and it is clear that many of the names on the list, don’t have any demonstrative capacity process in their past assignments.
“We expected Tinubu to come up with more names that are very progressive, competent, qualified and have not got any corruption baggage. Some of the names are not really fantastic. They are not really what Nigerians are looking for,” he said.
Commenting on the policy direction of the Tinubu-led administration so far, CISLAC noted that what the Federal Government has rolled out was nothing but, somersaulting policies, stressing that the government has failed to work to put in place policies that will address poverty, inequality, insecurity and job creation.
He therefore urged the Tinubu-led administration to do something more drastically, progressive and revolutionary to meet the aspirations of all Nigerians.
