Some Tinubu’s appointees more interested in their pockets than service –Buba Galadima

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has said that some of the appointees of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are more interested in personal gains than serving the country.

Galadima, who stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, added that he was disappointed in President Tinubu.

He said that he expected the president to come up with a team of experts to address the problems facing the country.

Galadima noted that Tinubu in office had been up and down, saying there were some elements of direction and misdirection.

When asked whether he was disappointed in Tinubu, Galadima said, “I am very much. I expected him to hit the ground running because we thought he was coming with a team which knows the dots and everything. He should be told that some of his appointees are more interested in their pockets than service delivery.

“If anything is doing things wrong, the person who appointed him should take the blame. There was a minister suspended on an allegation. What stopped the president from firing that minister the next hour that issue was determined? It is now getting to how many months? It’s still hanging.”

Galadima alleged that the federal government was fighting the Kano State government.

He added, “The federal government has been fighting us in Kano. No cooperation. Only God is saving Kano from catastrophe. But for The federal government of Nigeria, Kano should go in flames. They have taken over the judiciary.

“The president said that you must do local government elections to qualify for local government funds. They are now going there to stop us from conducting local government elections.”
