A coalition of Delta All Progressive Congress, APC Youths have joined other pressure groups and political structures across the country urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider Dr Halimat Adenike Tejuosho for appointment as Minister for Humanitarian Affairs.
The Delta APC Youth group said in a statement statement below signed by Mr Agbigbe Ochuko Delta Central, Mrs Lilian Hamilton, Delta South and Comrade Uche Ozeorum, Delta North, said the call has become necessary following the current hardship faced by the Nigerians.
The coalition asserts that the appointment of a selfless, people-centred leader is essential as Nigeria faces significant economic hardship. They highlight Dr. Tejuosho’s longstanding dedication to supporting underprivileged communities and persons with disabilities, describing her as “the right person for the job.”
They added that the President needs to give the position of the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs to “someone selfless, who feels the suffering and cry of the Nigerian masses for a better life, one who is very accessible and whose passion is humanitarian service.”
According to the group, “Judging from her track record, Dr Halimat Adenike Tejuosho has given herself completely to helping the less privileged in our society whenever she has the opportunity to reach out, her love for persons with disabilities is infectious and undiluted.
Giving her this opportunity to serve Nigerians will be putting a square peg in a square hole. She is the right person for the job. “We believe that the only way Mr President can succeed in restoring hope to Nigerians is by giving the jobs of good governance to the right people with tested records and experience.
“We appeal to Mr President to consider our humble request and the request of most Nigerians by allowing Dr Halimat Adenike Tejuosho to show what she is capable of doing and to tap from her wealth of humanitarian service experience.
“We are confident that Mr President will grant this request because he is a man who always goes for the best hands. And as rumours of cabinet reshuffling keep spreading, we know that Mr President will bring in the right hands on deck his cabinet to help drive and fulfil the renewed hope agenda and bring succumb to the masses.
“We use this medium to reiterate our support for Mr President’s progressive policies and agenda in repositioning the country for the best.”
