APC Elders Oppose Jonathan’s Move For Ministerial Appointment

APC leaders have spoken out against former President Goodluck Jonathan’s “relentless attempts” to fill the state’s ministerial vacancy in President Bola Tinubu’s yet-to-be-formed cabinet.

The Bayelsa APC Elders Council accused Jonathan of attempting to generate a minister after actively and openly supporting his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, during the previous general election.

Speaking in Yenagoa, the state capital, Chief Michael Adomokeme, Chairman of the APC Elders Council in the state, said it was unfair for Jonathan to reap where he did not sow.

He claimed the ex-President was acting unfairly and unfairly, comparing his “desperation” to someone attempting to get compensation from company A after working for company B.

Adomekeme, on the other hand, expressed confidence that President Tinubu, a well-known rewarder of hard effort, would not accept a situation of “monkey work, baboon chop.”

“People should not try to reap where they have never sown,” he remarked. Some of us have been here from the beginning of our party, when simply being a member was considered a taboo.

“During his six-year presidency, he personally nominated dozens of Ministers.” Why is he now only interested in the single that the Bayelsa party wants?

“It is even an anomaly and extremely demeaning for a former President to go cap-in-hand begging for a single ministerial slot.” It mocks and downgrades the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

When questioned, former President Goodluck Jonathan’s Media Aide, Mr Wealth Dickson, stated that the report is baseless and inaccurate because the previous President does not have such a plan.
