Former Edo State State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole yesterday called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint the best hands as ministers.
According to him, those to be appointed must be competent.
He said: “Appointing quality people was the heart of our campaigns and we all acknowledged that one of the gifts of President Tinubu based on what he did in Lagos, is his ability to hunt talents.
“He is not known to surround himself with yes-yes men. He surrounds himself with people whose opinions can be different from his. That was a selling point we sold to Nigerians.
“I’ll expect that now that he is dealing with a much bigger entity, Nigeria, he can only look for the very best without sentiment.
“There are ways to compensate people, but that should not be at the expense of the deliverables.
“No one can give to the nation what he or she does not possess.”
The Senator, who also lamented the lack of data, urged Tinubu to ensure he reduces the cost of governance in public service, adding having credible data could help in cutting the cost of governance.
