An ex-House of Reps member, Alphonsus Komsol, has asked President Bola Tinubu to replace former Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, with a new minister from the Plateau Central Senatorial Zone, for equity.
Komsol made the call in an open letter to the president on Sunday, sequel to the resignation of Lalong on Wednesday.
He said his suggestion is as a result of the urgent need for the president to address diverse issues bordering on inclusiveness, geopolitics, ethnic balance, equity and fairness in Plateau State.
Recall that Komsol was the Secretary, Presidential Campaign Council’s Contact and Mobilisation Committee, North-Central Zone; Plateau Coordinator, Independent Campaign Council for Asiwaju, and Member, APC’s Election Planning and Strategic Committee.
According to the APC chieftain, a decision would determine the party’s success in Plateau.
“The reason for my selfless suggestion is not far-fetched: It is noteworthy that Lalong is from Plateau South Senatorial Zone, which has produced six ministers since 1999.”
