THE 2023 Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has challenged the Ministerial list presented by President Bola Tinubu.
He made this assertion while speaking to the DailySun Newspaper.
According to Sowore, the list currently being screened by the National Assembly, contains names of ‘failed Nigerians.’
Sowore took the opportunity to rubbish Tinubu’s victory at the last General elections, insisting that the President is “a beneficiary of electoral theft,” and opined that he “cannot set up a government of “National Unity.”
“I have made it very clear that the 2023 elections were a charade. One in which the Nigerian people were once again taken for a ride and their rights to free, fair elections were once again denied. Having said that, what I have witnessed since the beginning of the Tinubu administration has been that of a government that is unprepared to rule or govern. Major policies like foreign exchange deregulation and fuel subsidy removal were rolled out without planning or preparation.
“The resulting effect has been skyrocketing inflation. The naira has lost almost half its value in just eight weeks. In the midst of all this economic pain, school fees for federal secondary and tertiary institutions have more than doubled, while workers’ wages have remained stagnant. The list of ministers that was just released was full of the same characters that have failed Nigeria and Nigerians and demonstrated conclusively that for this government, it will be business as usual.
“Nigeria’s concept of government of national unity is a government that appoints or accommodates non-members of political party into government. In real terms, a government of national unity should be the one that appoints citizens to organise credible elections. A person who is a beneficiary of electoral theft can’t set up a government of “National Unity,” Sowore asserted
