The Labour Party (LP) has described as uninspiring, the list presented by President Bola Tinubu to the Senate for approval as ministers or members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
The LP specifically said the list confirms concerns that the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration is unprepared for the job of leading the country, according to its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
The LP spokesman also disclosed through a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja that his party intended to seek legal advice regarding the legitimacy of the President’s choices to submit the cabinet list in pieces.
Ifoh said: “Nigerians expected more quality, character, dynamic, and resulted-oriented Nigerians to be on that list, but what we saw is a recycling of some failed and clueless politicians who have contributed to bringing Nigeria to its parlous condition.
“This list does not in any way reflect the enormous reservoir of talents, potentials, and resources Nigeria is known for.
“It still baffles us as to why this government ignored the youthful and technocratic potentials that abound but rather chose to appoint spent forces that have failed Nigeria in the past.”
“Some of these nominees played prominent anti-democratic roles in the previous administration, particularly since 2015, which saw the APC government fail in all its promises to Nigerians.
“We also saw ‘prependal ’ politics in full swing where mainly the cronies and lackeys of the APC national leader were selected for a reward for servitude and blind discipleship.”
President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, sent a list of 28 ministerial nominees to the National Assembly for screening, in an attempt to beat the 60-day deadline set by the constitution.
