Nicolas Felix, a former presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect, will prioritize appointing skilled individuals to his cabinet after he is sworn in on May 29.

 

In an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Felix emphasized that Tinubu’s appointments would be based on competence rather than party affiliations.

 

He went on to state that Tinubu had expressed his commitment to establishing a government of national unity, recognizing that all Nigerians are important, regardless of their political party affiliation.

 

He said, “Asiwaju is a man that rewards loyalty, he rewards hard work, there are also Nigerians out there who are not members of our party who are also talented and experienced and capable.

 

“He is going to also look beyond his APC and start picking those who are out there. But I am also very sure as he has stretched his hands of fellowship to say “I want to build a government of national unity, If you are in PDP, If you are in Labour Party, you are in other parties, we are all Nigerians.

 

“When a president is elected, what is expected of every patriotic Nigerian is to join hands with the President to work together, except you are just here for your selfish interest. If you really want the growth of Nigeria, you want Nigeria to be better. Whatever you have to offer, you have to present yourself for service.

 

“He has already stretched his hands of fellowship. It is up to them to accept it and join him. I am sure he is not going to be running after people, he has already said come, let’s brainstorm. As many are willing to go to Asiwaju’s door, the President-elect for them to join hands together.” he added

He further called on Nigerians to unite with Tinubu in working towards the betterment of Nigeria.
