A former president of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN), Samuel Nzekwe, has advised President Bola Tinubu against appointing sycophants as ministers to prevent his administration from failing.
In an interview on Monday in Ota, Ogun State, Mr Nzekwe said the advice became necessary for Mr Tinubu to select the best hands to help him move the country forward.
The former ANAN president urged Mr Tinubu to select serious-minded people with the country’s interests at heart.
“Not having capable ministers to assist in discharging the necessary responsibilities means that this administration has failed,” he said.
Mr Nzekwe appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the president in appointing ministers, as selecting good hands across the six geopolitical zones was not easy.
He stressed the need for the president to appoint detribalised persons who share the same set goals with him.
Mr Nzekwe commended Mr Tinubu for removing the fuel subsidy and unifying the exchange rate.
