…says position not for political compensation
By Abubakar Yunusa
Coalition of concerned civil society organizations, led by Comrade Mohammed Abdulrazak Ibrahim, has officially rejected President Bola Tinubu’s nomination of Nentawe Yilwadta as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
The group argued that the role must be filled by a woman to ensure effective and compassionate leadership in addressing Nigeria’s pressing humanitarian challenges and not just a politician in the name of political compensation.
In a press statement issued to newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday, Comrade Ibrahim said, “We are calling on President Tinubu to reconsider the nomination and nominate someone with a track record of Humanitarian successes.”
They also expressed shock over the appointment of Bianca Odinaka Odumegu-Ojukwu as Minister of State Foreign Affairs, questioning her contribution to the ruling APC even as they alledged that Bianca was a card carrying member of APGA as at the last time they checked.
The Concerned citizen’s group also faulted Tinubu for nominating Former Minister of Police as Minister of Women Affairs, describing it as unfortunate over what they described as ill performance of the nominee while serving as Minister, including her tenure in refugee commission.
