A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress, Bukie Okangbe,
has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to consider the appointment of party
loyalists who worked for his victory as a priority when appointing his cabinet.
This was even as she congratulated Tinubu on his emergence
as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States on Sunday.
The national coordinator of National Progressive Hub made
the call in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday.
The development is coming on the heel of Tinubu’s election
as chairman at the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and
Government of ECOWAS.
Okangbe said, “Your emergence as the new Chairman of the
Economic Community of West African States is a confirmation of the capacity,
competence, and exemplary leadership experience which transcends the shore of
Nigeria. It shows you as a man capable of not only providing leadership for his
country but also for the regional African continent.
“While congratulating His Excellency, let us also use this
medium to implore you on the need to make your cabinet a reflection of
dedicated, committed, and hard-working party faithful who worked and sacrificed
for the victory of APC at the last presidential election. To us, this will go a
long way in affirming the principle of fairness you are known for and putting
an end to the poor reward system our great party has been battling with over
time.
“We pray that your reign shall bring more economic,
political, social stability and prosperity to the region of West African and
the continent at large.”
