May 14, 2023 9:23 PMA group known as Civil Rights Action for Democracy has called on Bola Tinubu, president-elect, to appoint Simon Lalong, governor of Plateau, as the secretary to the government of the federation of the incoming administration.
The nominations have been faulted by lawmakers within and outside the party, with several critics pointing to the absence of north-central from zoning arrangement. “As a body devoted to the ideals of democracy, it is our view that the north-central region was instrumental to the success of the APC in the presidential elections. The leadership acumen of the governor of Plateau state and chairman of the presidential campaign council was also instrumental to the party’s overall success despite the numerous hurdles that were before it.
