Avoid Ex-govs In Your Main Cabinet, Kailani Cautions Tinubu

The National Chairman of Tinubu Support Network and Director-General of Amalgamated All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups, Mr. Kailani Muhammad, over the weekend, advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to do everything possible not to appoint any two-term governors that stood against the local government autonomy into his cabinet if he wants to succeed.

Kailani also noted that, if Tinubu had not removed the subsidy at the time he did, those cabals who are benefitting would have frustrated that effort as they frustrated the past administrations.

Fielding questions from the newsmen in Kaduna, Kailani said, “all those former governors roving around him should be discarded. These are people who worked against local government autonomy.

“He should also discard all those senators and ministers that did not perform, and bring technocrats, engineers, season administrators who don’t know how to steal to deliver this country in four years.

“Those lobbyists are not good people and we don’t want them on the stage again. We have been circulating this crop of people every time. Let the President bring new people who have not stolen”, he advised

On the subsidy, he said, “this is the right decision because the immediate past administration shifted it. We have been postponing the evil day. A time has come for this country to measure up with the comity of Nations.

“Nigeria as a member of OPEC should enjoy gains that accrued from sales of oil to develop infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, etc.

“I think we are good to go. Subsidy removal will increase competitiveness and prices will fall back. I believed he did it in a good fate. I learned palliative will come in from the money that will be accrued from the subsidy.

“If he did not do it now, he may not be able to do it again because those crooks up there that are gaining from subsidy will frustrate him.

“So by the time he gives tolerance and allows time to pass, it will now be a matter of debate.

“They are talking about trillions. How much of this is coming to you and me? It is going to the people at the top. We are satisfied that the decision he took is right”, he argued.
