Former Military Governor of Kaduna State, Col Abubakar Dangiwa Umar( rtd) has advised President Bola Tinubu, to avoid those he described as desperate lobbyists while choosing his cabinet members.
Speaking in a statement made available on Monday, Umar said, “Mr President please avoid the company of people who show embarrassing desperation in lobbying for appointment in your government.
“Public Office is a trust which should not be extended to persons of dubious character particularly former Governors who have bankrupted their states and left them with heavy debt burden and deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines.
“You cannot afford to be diverted from the onerous task of reclaiming the country which Dr Umar Ardo correctly characterised as a failed state.”
Here is the text of his statement:
Shut Your Door Against Desperate Lobbyists, Mr President
Mr President please avoid the company of people who show embarrassing desperation in lobbying for appointment in your government.
Public Office is a trust which should not be extended to persons of dubious character particularly former Governors who have bankrupted their states and left them with heavy debt burden and deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines.
You cannot afford to be diverted from the onerous task of reclaiming the country which Dr Umar Ardo correctly characterised as a failed state.
