A Civil Society Organization, Save Nigeria Movement (SNM) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be wary of the desperate antics of some politicians to foist their family member on the people as minister from Ebonyi state.
The CSO in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja and signed by it’s convener Rev Solomon Semaka also urged the President to ensure Inclusive peace in the south east.
The pro democracy group noted that even though it remained apolitical, it was incumbent on the organization to offer interventions on political decisions that pose a threat to democracy and the people.
“Following concerns raised by wide media reports of attempts desperate politicians to impose their family members as Minister in President Tinubu’s government, it has become necessary to highlight the selfish tendencies of these politicians and their desperation to turn Ebonyi State into a family dynasty.
“While we recognize the right of every citizen to hold public office, it is morally necessary to censor the implications of contemplating injustice let alone promote same by people who should promote fairness and justice and equity among their people.
“Let it be on record that anyone who seek to promote injustice and greed threatens the already fragile situation in Ebonyi and the South East,” the statement read in part.
The group further noted that the development has led to the sorry state of affairs in the state, calling on the president to ensure equity in appointing competent cabinet members.
The group also expressed confidence and believes that Mr President is a true democrat and would not allow himself to be misled by the inordinate ambition of a single family especially as this act of desperation widens the uncertainties around growing insecurity in Ebonyi State and the South East region in general
