A statement jointly signed by the CICAN National President and Secretary, Mr. Toba Agboola and Mr. Charles Onwuatogwu, respectively, stated that the advice become necessary due to some names being touted in mainstream and social media as possible candidates for ministerial portfolios in the administration.
According to the association, Buhari should appoint technocrats with proven track records of effective performance and not necessarily politicians.
“Nigeria has abundant pool of human resources in all fields of endeavors and as such there is no need to continue to appoint persons with antecedents that will offend the sensibility of Nigerians into strategic positions any longer.
“If Mr. President proceeds to appoint certain individuals who spearheaded anti-people policies while serving the previous governments into his cabinet, his pledge to change the pattern of governance, including the culture of impunity in the country will be dead on arrival.
“However, if for any reason Mr. President wishes to appoint persons that have served previous governments into his cabinet, they must be individuals with impeccable character, proven integrity, and track record of selfless service to the country”, the statement noted.
