Coalition to Tinubu: Let someone with track record lead humanitarian ministry

A coalition of Delta All Progressives Congress (APC) Youths have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider a Nigerian with track record in philanthropy as a minister for the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

In a press statement, Monday, signed by Chairman of the coalition, Mr Agbigbe Ochuko, the group said the call was prompted by the current hardship faced by the Nigerians.

Also prompting the call, according to the group, was the need to give the position and its responsibility to a selfless person, who feels the suffering and cry of the Nigerian masses for a better life and very accessible with passion for humanitarian service.

It, therefore, called for considering the appointment of Dr Halimat Adenike Tejuosho for the office, stating that her track record has given her up in helping the less privilege in the society.

The coalition appealed to the President to consider its humble request and that of most Nigerians by giving Dr Halimat Adenike Tejuosho the opportunity to show what she is capable of doing and to tap from her wealth of humanitarian service experience.

“Whenever she has the opportunity to reach out, her love for person’s with disabilities is infectious and undiluted. Giving her this opportunity to serve Nigerians will be putting a square peg in a square hole. She is the right person for the job.

“We believe that the only way Mr President can succeed in restoring hope back to Nigerians is by giving the jobs of good governance to the right people with tested records and experience.

“We are confident that Mr President will grant this request because he is a man that always goes for the best hands. And as rumours of cabinet reshuffling keep spreading, we know that Mr President will bring in the right hands on deck his cabinet to help drive and fulfill the Renewed Hope Agenda and bring succumb to the masses.  

“We use this medium to reiterate our support to Mr President’s progressive policies and agenda in repositioning the country for the best,” he said.
