President Bola Tinubu has received praise for the appointment of new Service Chiefs from the Northern Youths Group for Renewed Hope, who claim that by making the choice, the President showed that he recognized the unique issues the nation was facing.
The organization’s President, James Sabastine Danbaki, released a statement to the media on Monday that said in part: “The latest hallmark of the administration is the appointment of Service Chiefs to ensure the security of lives and property and to defend and enforce Nigeria’s sovereignty.”
“By selecting fine and well-decorated officers from all regions of the country to man our security outfits, Mr. The President has demonstrated his deep understanding of the country, it’s people, as well as showing his unflinching commitment to one Nation bound in love and unity, where tribe, tongue and religion do not matter.”
“The appointment of the new Service Chiefs shows the President has won the battle against insurgency, banditry by 50 per cent. Fighting the kind of battles we are fighting requires first and foremost the support of the people,” Ibrahim said.
Additionally, the group praised President Tinubu for the recently implemented education loan program, saying that “Mr. President in his drive for holistic national repositioning delved into the education sector where the recent education loan scheme act would provide Nigerians with opportunities to pursue their academic goals, regardless of their social or economic background.”
The group also encouraged the President to take into account women and minorities in his administration while using the platform to push him to prevent future appointments he makes from being imbalanced.
“We are not talking about party affiliations here. We are concerned about how to have a new Nigeria where people in their respective offices will assist the President to give optimum performance to the nation.”
“We also want to sincerely appreciate the former Governor of Bauchi State Barr. M A Abubakar (SAN.) Northeast and Rev. Dr.Yakubu Pam North central and Dr. Yakubu Sirajo Northwest and others for their respective contributions to nation building.”
In a letter to the president, the group argued in favor of Brigadier-General (retd) Buba Marwa’s reappointment as Chairman and Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, emphasizing that he has been the model for exceptional leadership.
“This zeal and ardor to make a difference, which he had cultivated as a young military officer down to the time he was administrator of Borno and later Lagos, has not diminished but rather has received fresh fire which can be seen in the turnaround we have seen in the leadership he has provided for the NDLEA.”
“However, the three geo-political zones in the north after our wide consultations all the members of this group agreed to rally round and support the PBAT mantra RENEWED HOPE for Nigeria,” the statement concluded.
