Former Military Governor of Kaduna State, Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd), has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to avoid those he called desperate lobbyists in appointing his cabinet members.
In a statement he personally signed on Monday, Umar said, “Mr Pesident please avoid the company of people who show embarrassing desperation in lobbying for appointment in your government.
“Public Office is a trust which should not be extended to persons of dubious character particularly former Governors who have bankrupted their states and let them with heavy debt burden and deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines.
“You cannot afford to be diverted from the onerous task of reclaiming the country which Dr Umar Ardo correctly characterised as a failed state.”
