Ministerial Appointment: South-east APC Young Progressives Forum Wants Core Party Members
Chukwuka Ugokwe, Awka.
A group operating under the banner of South-east APC Young Progressives Forum has urged President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to consider appointment of core party members as Ministers and Special Advisers.
It reasoned that such members of South-east extraction must possess sound profile, impeccable integrity and character.
“We pray that ministerial appointment should be given to real party members who can be accessible to the people, who were on ground during campaigns supporting the party – people with the requisite think-home philosophy, not those who will take the appointment and close the doors against members.
“We need true and thorough party men to help galvanize the party for electoral victory.
“We need a Minister that can unite the party, improve the fortunes of the party in Anambra and help win gubernatorial election,” the group said.
Addressing news reporters in Awka, the Anambra State capital, the National Convener of the Forum, Mr. Pascal Candle, called on the leadership of the party to also intervene and ensure the right thung was done to avoid foisting unpopular appointees on the party.
“It is on record that one of the challenges of the party in Anambra State and South-east is the harrowing non-reward system for party members, who have toiled and always been bypassed for unacceptable leaders who are not proud to identify with the party in their wards, local government and State,” Mr. Candle observed.
