A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Part (NNPP),
Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has said recycling of old politicians by
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a disappointment.
He said this while reacting to Tinubu’s minister-nominees on
Monday.
Recall that Tinubu had last week sent the names of his
minister-nominees to the National Assembly.
Oguntoyinbo, who contested the gubernatorial election on the
platform of NNPP in 2023 in Ogun State has however said that Nigerians were
expecting young and energetic persons as ministers.
He insisted that many Nigerians have been suffering untold
hardship as a result of removal of subsidy on petroleum products.
He called on Tinubu to immediately provide succour to
Nigerians who have been suffering.
“We are expecting young and energetic Nigerians as
Ministers. The recycling of old politicians in Tinubu’s cabinet is a
disappointment.
“Nigerians at this time needed committed, highly resourceful
youths, not recycling of old and bemused politicians, most of whom did nothing
tangible in the states they ruled for eight years.
“President Tinubu is getting it wrong with the calibre of
people he has picked to work with. Most of the Ministerial nominees have been
in government since 1999.
“First of all, you can no longer delay the palliatives
because your policies are bitting hard on ordinary Nigerians ,” he said.
