The Action Democratic Party (ADP)
said on Wednesday that the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to expand his
cabinet and appoint more Ministers was a betrayal of his promise to run a lean
government as a way of conserving funds.
National Chairman of the party,
Engr. Yabagi Sani said in a statement in Abuja that it was unfortunate that the
same President who promised change has refused to be consistent and faithful to
all the promises he made to the Nigerian people.
President Muhammadu Buhari had
told the National Executive Committee of the party on Tuesday that “the
compressed Federal Executive Council will be expanded to bring in more
supporters at Federal Level, with fresh ideas to be injected into the process.”
The ADP said “It is sad and very
disappointing that President Buhari who promised CHANGE has refused to be
consistent and faithful to all the promises he made to the Nigerian masses.
“His attitude towards corruption
allegations against his close associates, his unprecedented tribal/kinsmen
appointments and penchant for refusing to talk when Nigerians needed his voice
of assurance mostly, have proved that his body language, in the beginning, was
a mere gimmick.
“We want to advise that what he
needs is not the appointment of additional ministers but to make himself more
accessible to the current cabinet members so as to achieve synergy and success.
“The current Cabinet members have
been working with a President they only see on FEC meeting days and hardly had
the opportunity to discuss personal challenges or aspirations except through
the Chief of Staff or the now replaced Secretary to the Government (SGF). If
the President continues to run the government by proxy, history may not be kind
to him in the final analysis.”
