The governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in the last elections in lmo State, Chief Uche Nwosu, has called on the ministers-designate to assist President Muhammadu Buhari achieve his economic targets or be changed if they fail to perform.
Nwosu said the only way the ministers- designate would show appreciation for their nomination was for them to perform beyond the expectations of Nigerians.
Reacting to the criticisms on the calibre of the ministers-designate in an interview with journalists in Abuja, he said Nigerians should know that the president is in a position to know what is good for Nigeria now.
He stated: "So, for him to have appointed them as Ministerial nominees means that he has gone through their records and see them qualified. We should not start criticising them, let us give them time and let them perform. Any of them who refuses to perform, there is room for change. You can change them."
Nwosu stressed that the present security challenges faced by the country was as a result of unemployment, noting that insecurity would be a thing of the past if the ministers designate could help the president in creating more jobs for the teeming youth.
He added: "l commend President Muhammadu Buhari for reappointing people like the former Attorney General, Abubakar Malami; former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, and a host of others for performing well and making sure that the railways are functioning".
"I also commend the President for bringing new hands he believes can help to deliver services to Nigerians. The only thing we need is for Nigerians to support Mr. President so that at the end of it we will get to our destination."
On his expectations on the ministers-designate, he said his number one expectations was for them is to abide by the rules.
"l think the ministers should also key into the anti- corruption fight with the president. Most importantly, the first thing the administration should do in this second term is the creation of job opportunities for the teeming youths. You know most of these people you see that are demonstrating or joining Boko Haram or kidnapping are as a result of lack of jobs.
"With the creation of jobs l believe that President Muhammad Buhari would be able to tackle some of the issues. Let us support Mr. President and his team on what they are doing so that Nigerians can move forward."
