It’s time to address your lopsided appointments & completely overhaul your cabinet-– Yoruba Youths Caution Tinubu

The Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural Association (YYSA) has urged President Bola Tinubu to completely overhaul his cabinet in order to address what they describe as lopsided appointments and to promote fairness across Nigeria’s regions.

In a statement released on Friday, the National President of YYSA, Olalekan Hammed, emphasized that a cabinet shake-up was necessary not only to ensure equitable regional representation but also to bolster the president’s chances for re-election in 2027.

Hammed stated: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should consider total overhauling of his cabinet to ensure equity and fairness in terms of unbiased regional representation in the appointments made into various ministries, departments, and agencies.

“At present, we have categories of aggrieved people who are unhappy with the appointments made so far.

“The first set of people are people who believe that their zone is not duly represented in various political offices while some party chieftains have the mindset of being used and dumped for the fact that they are yet to be rewarded.

“The last set of aggrieved people are the Southwest Muslims who believe that during the Buhari/Osinbajo regime youths that were favoured with an appointment from the region were majorly Christians and they had very high expectations during 2023 electioneering that Muslim/Muslim ticket of president Tinubu would correct the anomaly but only to discover that it even worse.

“Moreover, it is not too late for the president to appease all the categories of people that are dissatisfied or felt betrayed by his lopsided appointments.”
