Ministerial appointment: Tinubu failed to give adequate consideration to Defence, Youth ministries – Adeyanju

 


A sociopolitical crusader, Deji Adeyanju, has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s choice of ministers for the Ministries of Defence and Youths.

 

Adeyanju claimed the President did not give adequate consideration for appointing Defence and Youth ministers.

 

He noted that the youths hold immense potential and are instrumental in driving Nigeria’s social, economic and political progress.

 

A statement by Adeyanju reads partly: “While I understand the great responsibility and careful deliberation that goes into the selection of ministers and the subsequent allocation of portfolios, I, however, regrettably note that unlike the names mentioned above, some ministries, like that of Defence and Youth, have not been given adequate consideration in the appointment of ministers.

 

“Consequently, their active participation in governance is crucial for the meaningful representation of their interests.

 

“Such ministry should be headed by a person who is not only a youth in mind but also a youth in body. We should not return to the era where persons who are over 60 years old are appointed as ministers of Youth.

 

“Additionally, your excellency, I also want to draw your attention to the defence portfolio and urge you to reconsider the appointment of the substantive minister and minister of state in that regard.

 

“The defence ministry plays a crucial role in ensuring the sovereignty and the well-being of our nation and its citizens, and should ordinarily be manned by someone well versed in our internal and external security.”
