Some stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North under the aegis of the Northern Progressives Union (NPU) have appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to appoint former governors who failed their states into his cabinet.
Leader of the stakeholders, Mohammed Ibrahim Kiyawa, in a statement yesterday, said that many of the immediate past governors lacked the capacity to help implement his “Renewed Hope” agenda for Nigeria.
He said, “They are leaders who don’t fit into today’s reality of the present vision of the Renewed Hope mantra of the present administration.
“We are the foot soldiers of the APC in this part of the country and therefore are making a categorical statement urging Mr President and the APC as a political party not to entertain the idea of nominating any former governors from the region in the incoming cabinet as they do not have the required capacities and capabilities to drive the process.

“Our demand is legitimate and is consequent upon the misdeeds of some of them during the 2023 general elections; where most were moles and fifth columnists used by the opposition parties and in most cases funds given to them for elections were personalised and kept for self-serving purposes.”
