The Bayelsa State chapter of the Tinubu/Shettima Independent Campaign Council (ICC) has assured members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state that former President Goodluck Jonathan will not be allowed to nominate Bayelsa's candidate for a ministerial slot. The ICC said it was inconceivable for Jonathan, who is one of the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to nominate the state's representative in the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu, a member of the APC.
Ex-President Jonathan Shouldn't Be Allowed To Nominate Minister For Tinubu After Working Against His Election, Says Campaign CouncilThe ICC said it was inconceivable for Jonathan, who is one of the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party , to nominate the state's representative in the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu, a member of the APC.
The ICC's reaction followed the tension generated in the party by reports suggesting that Jonathan was making attempts to hijack Bayelsa's ministerial slot. Fafi, who described President Tinubu as a thorough person and rewarder of loyalty, insisted that there was no way such injustice and unfairness would be allowed under the current President.
"It was open and incontestable. Giving him the right to produce a minister in this government isn't among the privileges Tinubu is ready to offer Jonathan."
