APC Chieftain Cautions TInubu Over Lopsided Appointments

Judex OKORO

A prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) member, Cletus Obun, has urged President Bola Tinubu to reconsider his approach to political appointments, warning that neglecting loyal party members could have severe consequences.

Speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television, Obun criticised Tinubu’s handling of appointments, describing it as a dangerous misstep that could alienate the party faithful.

He noted that those who worked tirelessly for Tinubu’s 2023 election victory feel sidelined.

“It is a wrong strategy not to reward your own allies. It would surely boomerang. In a developing democracy such as this, it is a brazen affront to loyalty,” Obun stated.

Highlighting the long-standing issue, he compared the current administration’s reward system to that of former President Muhammadu Buhari, which he deemed equally poor.

“APC had the worst reward system under Buhari, and today we’re seeing the repeat. A man works like an elephant and eats like an ant. It’s not correct,” he said.

Obun expressed concerns that Tinubu’s advisers may be steering him toward a dangerous path by downplaying the contributions of loyal supporters.
