The prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bukie Okangbe, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to prioritize the appointment of party loyalists who contributed to his victory when forming his cabinet. In a statement issued in Abuja, Okangbe congratulated Tinubu on his election as the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and highlighted the importance of having a cabinet that reflects the dedication and hard work of the party faithful.
Okangbe praised Tinubu’s leadership capabilities, noting that his election as ECOWAS Chairman demonstrated his competence and exemplary experience in leading not only Nigeria but also the African continent. She emphasized the significance of a cabinet composed of loyal and committed party members who played crucial roles in the APC’s success during the last presidential election. This, according to Okangbe, would uphold the principle of fairness and address the longstanding issue of inadequate recognition for party members.
The statement concluded with a prayer for Tinubu’s reign to bring about economic, political, and social stability, as well as prosperity, not only to West Africa but to the entire continent. Okangbe’s appeal serves as a reminder to President Tinubu to consider the contributions and sacrifices made by party loyalists in shaping the future of the APC and the nation as a whole.
