Ministerial list: Security reports, graft allegations may knock out heavyweights - Punch Newspapers

He added that people with pending cases with any anti-graft or law-enforcement agency should not be considered for any position, adding that the government had to build credibility in order to gain the trust of members of the public.

For the spokesperson for the Coalition of Northern Groups, Mr Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, no former governor should make the list of ministers, as most of them lack integrity. The National Publicity Secretary of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Chief Ken Robinson, said Nigeria was in the process of rebuilding, repositioning, refocusing and redirecting, adding that only people heading in that direction should be appointed into the cabinet.

The Chief Executive Officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, Dr Muda Yusuf, said the people who would man each of the ministries must have good knowledge of the ministries. “If people are having cases with the EFCC, even if they have not been convicted, it does not speak well for an administration. We don’t need people with all manner of baggage. It is not good for the reputation of the administration. The quality of character of the people also matters.”

The North-West Publicity Secretary, APC, Musa Mailafiya Mada, said the President had an uncanny ability to headhunt the right people. The Chairman, APC, Lagos State, Cornelius Ojelabi, pleaded with those still doubting Tinubu’s ability to put round pegs in round holes to cut him some slack. He added that Tinubu must also not appoint people without cognate experience or knowledge of the technicalities of whatever position they are to be appointed to.

He stated, “They must be people of integrity, because ministers are supposed to be the face of the government, and the country is in dire need of direction. The Executive Director, Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, Auwal Rafsanjani, expressed worries about those that might make the cabinet.
