Governor of Imo state and
Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has said
that most juicy jobs in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari are being
held by members of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Few days ago, Controller General
of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali who is believed to be one of the President right
hand men claimed that fifty percent of top positions in the APC government of
President Buhari are being occupied by PDP members, while members of the APC
have been relegated to the background.
Okorocha said although the
President has so far resisted pressures to sack members of the PDP inherited
from the previous government, his slow pace may be working for him, which
explain why he has not dissolve his cabinet.
Speaking with newsmen shortly
before the APC NEC meeting in Abuja, Okorocha, said: “It is not that 50% of PDP
running this government alone, PDP members are holding major plum jobs in the
country which if it were PDP’s government they won’t have allowed that and they
are getting fattened as a result and ready to fight us.
“Remember your political enemy
can never love your politically, so we must address issues and make sure that
we settle our party men to make sure that APC people hold great pisitions in
boards and others to give them confidence and sense of belonging, that is what
we are asking for.”
When pressed further to comment
on the demand by some APC supporters that the President should dissolve his
cabinet so as to accommodate some aggrieved members of the party, governor
Okorocha said: “Well, I heard of it that we need to rejig the entire system to
give confidence to people, release the board appointment, make people happy and
get things working.”
“But you know Mr. President has
his own style, that is not my own style. My style would have been to rejig and
move on but his style would be take things easy and slowly and get there which
is working for him.”
The President has however hinted
of a possible cabinet reshuffle to accommodate more APC members.
Everybody is now Complaining even Okorocha, When people who knew Mr. President well told you about this man you thought Immediately he assume the sit of President he will change now your crying Tinubu also is crying please STOP crying oky, All the people your talking about holding major Office in your Government Castigated PDP before you accept them so accept them for good and bad times. hahahahahahah
