Abayomi Arabambi, the Factional National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party has called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently rejig his cabinet in the interest of Nigerians.
He said this on Monday at a news briefing in Abeokuta.
Arabambi contended that many political appointees and public office holders are not doing enough to make life easier for the citizens.
He commended President Tinubu for his efforts at improving the economy but said many of his ministers and public office holders are less concerned.
He noted that many of the are “square pegs in round holes”, urging Tinubu to do the needful just as he urged the president not to appoint people based on party affiliations alone.
“Nigeria Citizens are more impoverished than we were under the colonial powers. We are enveloped in abysmal and massive corruption especially under the past administration.
“Our country groans under the weight of unprecedented excessive imports and a depreciating currency with the exchange rates of $1 at ₦1,652, £1 at ₦2,010, and €1 at ₦1,985 which has rendered virtually all sectors of the economy in effective.
“The President must be conscious of the fact that some haters of democracy and purveyors of bad news are still in the trenches planning to destabilise Nigeria over the present economy situation and which is no fault of yours.
“We therefore urgently requested your Excellency to execute the following in other to make lives more meaningful to ordinary Nigerian and put Nigeria back on the right economy track
“The president is also hereby urged to dismiss all incompetent appointees ministers and head of Federal Government agencies with immediate effect to bring about better and effective government,” he said.
Arabambi lamented the epileptic power supply in the country “despite the huge investments of over 20 billion dollars in the power sector by successive administrations”.
He urged the president to withdraw the certificate and license of some electricity distribution companies and encourage private companies take over.
“President Bola Tinubu must as a matter of urgency withdraw the certificate and license of the some Discos and encourages state government and private electricity companies take over.
“This will pave way for a better and more prosperous nation which will bring about a great reduction in the prices of goods and services,” he added.
