President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged not to appoint corrupt individuals into his cabinet.
This was contained in a statement co-signed by the Nigerian Youth Congress (NYC) Vice President, South West, Gbenga Ogunsola; the South West Caucus Leader, Tosin Adesuyi; and Secretary, Lagos chapter, Ibrahim Adeoye.
The statement reads in part: “As part of the ways to usher in a radical development into the economy as promised by the ruling APC, the NYC appeals to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to appoint political merchants whose stock in trade is corrupt enrichment at the expense of the Nigerian nation.”

They also appealed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senate caucus to elect the Senator representing Ekiti Central, Opeyemi Bamidele, as the Senate leader, describing him as a ranking senator with cognate experience and emotional balancing to hold such a central position.
