Director General, Movement For Greater Nigeria, M4GN, one of the leading support groups of Tinubu/Shettima Presidency,
Comrade Okedara Kolawole, has advised the incoming President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to stop the trend of recycling old politicians but appoint new hands to paddle the affairs of a New Nigeria.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja, Comrade Kolawole said: “Appreciating the right set of people and groups that
work for the victory of the incoming government is the best thing APC must look into as a matter of importance. Our incoming President should stop recycling old politician, who have failed this country. New hands should come on board
to paddle the affairs of a New Nigeria as re-engineering and retooling of governance is very important”.
“The old ones at the board, agencies, parastatals etc. should go home and play the advisory role to the new set of leadership coming on board, because we have qualified technocrats/professionals in all field across the support groups under APC that have contributed to the success of our dear party.”
“Majority of the support groups have:gone bankrupt due to their strong confidence in APC and they spent all they have to see the victory of the incoming administration. But most times, once some of the political leaders get what they want from the support groups, they are no more accessible to them. The support groups will now be kept in the dark,
that’s why the leadership of the party and the elected leaders this time must put heads together to address the issue of support groups. We are aware that the
National Working Committee of the party will be meeting next week. We urge the leadership of the party to put support groups issue as one of the major discussion at the meeting,“ he advised.
He further advised that the support groups should be allowed to nominate who they trust among themselves for appointments
in any positions for good governance.
“At this point, it is very important we plead for justice and equity as we have confidence that His Excellency Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima will come to the aid of support groups under our great party APC. Whatever
names support groups call themselves, we’ve all come together under one umbrella, under the leadership of Dr Nasir Ladan, who is the Director General of all support groups. An effective and adequate reward system in a political party is key for the advancement and progress of the party and the nation as a whole” he added.
The M4GN DG, Comrade Kolawole, commended the leadership of Dr. Nasir Ladan, the Director General of all the APC support groups, who had been very committed and encouraging to all the support groups during the campaigns period and after the elections.
“As the NEC of the party will be convening its first meeting next week after the election, I will urge all support groups leaders to convene also and do a press conference stating our
stands and demands from the leadership of the party and copy the President-elect and the Vice President-elect” he appealed.
