The Conference of Nigerian Political
Parties (CNPP) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack inefficient
ministers in his cabinet.
CNPP made the call yesterday, in a statement by its Secretary
General, Willy Ezugwu.
He said: “The CNPP decried the
increasing hardship that Nigerians are enduring as a result of the appointment
of some former state governors who plundered the commonwealth of their states
to the detriment of the masses.”
According to CNPP, the underperforming
ministers have contributed negatively to the country’s efforts to reposition
the economy.
The statement added that it was
unfortunate that: “A few of the ministers were already positioning themselves
as running mates to some presidential aspirants, notwithstanding their roles in
the decaying infrastructure.
“Much as we are not concerned about the
political aspirations of these individuals in the present government, we are
worried about their obvious incompetence as ministers.”
Ezugwu added: “A case in point is the
selfish interest of a cabal in the corridor of power whose actions are
having negative effects on the economy.
“One of such is the exclusion of the
southeast in the $5.851 billion China Exim Bank loan request made by the
president in May this year.”
The statement expressed concern that
the region’s exclusion by the supervising minister did not take into
cognisance, the implication of leaving
out the region’s railway master plan.
CNPP promised to disclose its position
on the indictments of some of these serving ministers who had contributed to
the rot.
