The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) has charged President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately relieve all former governors in his cabinet of their duties
This was contained in a statement issued by Chief Willy Ezugwu, the group’s secretary general.
The statement reads in parts: “For President Muhammadu Buhari to succeed in his change agenda, all former governors in his cabinet must be sacked to create room for technocrats to run his government if he must succeed.
“The CNPP recalled that some of the former state executives left their states with empty treasury, leading to the bailout loans by the Buhari administration to enable them pay salary arrears of their workforce.
“Some former governors serving in this government not only left their respective states with empty treasury but also in heavy debts such that it took the President’s bailout fund for salary arrears of states’ workers to be paid.
“It will amount to effort in futility for the President to be labouring to attract investors as they will not entrust their hard-earned resources to well-known bad managers.
“This is the reason the Buhari government, which will be one year next month, yet has nothing to show for it except hardship and more hardship across the country despite the change mantra.”
