Buhari’s ministerial list presented to the Senate today as colourless,
stagnant, uninspiring and do not convey any sense of hope or purposeful
governance under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, “The party says
that to the chagrin and utter disappointment of Nigerians, the list is
replete with incompetent individuals who failed in their erstwhile
ministerial assignments and left their ministries in a shambles.
“Indeed, such a ministerial list can only come from a leadership that
does not have mandate of the people. It is a complete waste of time and
cannot fulfill the expectation of Nigerians.
“The list has further shown President Buhari and APC’s insensitivity and
disdain for Nigerians and it does not in any way reflect their hope and
eagerness for a better Nigeria.
“Furthermore, in recycling failed yesterday’s men for today’s
assignment, President Buhari and the APC have left no one in doubt that
they have no vision to move our nation out of the economic and security
predicaments into which they have plunged us in the last four years.
“A committed and responsive leadership would have widely consulted with
Nigerians before compiling a ministerial list, given the current
situation in the country.
“If, indeed, President Buhari and the APC mean well for Nigerians and
are interested in revamping our critical sectors, they would not have
ended up with a list of those who will help conceal the huge corruption
in the Buhari administration in the last four years, as well as those
who will assist in channeling funds to individuals and groups used by
the APC to rig the 2019 presidential election.
“Strangely, the list has no space for the youths demography, those to
whom the future is said to belong.
“The PDP holds that with this development, it is clear that the only way
our nation can come out of our present economic and security quandary
lies in the retrieval of Atiku Abubakar’s stolen Presidential mandate at
the tribunal.
“That is the way our citizens will enjoy the benefit of having an array
of highly qualified and patriotic Nigerians as ministers to move the
nation forward.”
