North cannot accuse Tinubu of nepotism – Convener, Arewa Think Tank

Ahead of 100 days in office of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Convener of Arewa Think Tank group, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, has said that Northerners cannot accuse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of nepotism as exhibited by the immediate past administration.

Yakubu said even if nepotism existed under the current administration, Northerners have no moral justification to accuse Tinubu of nepotism because when such was prevalent under former President Muhammadu Buhari, majority of them kept quiet, without criticising the former president.

In a statement on Friday to appraise the administration of President Tinubu’s 100 days in office, the Think Tank Convener expressed satisfaction with the warning given by the President to the recently appointed ministers to be hardworking and of good conduct or get fired from office.

He admitted that he had, in one his published advices to Tinubu, told him not to appoint former governors as ministers, adding that he is satisfied that any of them could be sacked in the event of poor performance.

From all indications, he said President Tinubu meant business in his pledge to take the country to the promised land and appealed to every Nigerian to cooperate with the President to achieve his goals.
