The National Youth Caucus of All Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to “as a matter of urgency”, relieve all Chief Executives of Ministries, Departments and Parastatals (MDAs) appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Caucus, Mr Haruna Okatahi, made the appeal in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, the call was based on “thorough investigation conducted by the APC Youths,” which showed that more than 800 appointees of Jonathan were still occupying positions in Buhari administration.
Okatahi said that those positions were supposed to be filled or administered by competent APC faithfuls who would assist Buhari to deliver his campaign promises and implement the party manivestoes.
“We have carried out an independent investigation and discovered that more than 800 appointees of former President Goodluck Jonathan are still occupying positions in Buhari administration.
“This is at the detriment of the APC faithfuls who have the needed competence and required qualifications to be appointed into those positions,” Okatahi said.
He called on the newly elected APC National Chairman, Adam Oshiomole to give hope to the party loyalist by ensuring their replacement with all Jonathan appointees.
This, according to him, will ensure that those who put on their best in ensuring the emergence of Buhari administration be motivated to replicate their efforts that led to victory of APC in 2015.
He expressed confidence in the capacity of Oshiomole to reposition the party which would translate to its victory in the forthcoming 2019 General Elections by the “grace of God.”
He thanked the Northwest delegates of APC for electing the Deputy National Chairman of the caucus, Abubakar Fakai, as the APC Northwest youth leader. (FB)
