Some Tinubu Appointees More Interested In Their Pockets – Galadima

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has said that some political appointees of President Bola Tinubu are more interested in their pockets, rather than developing the nation.

Galadima who spoke on Friday as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, called for a change of mindset among appointees, saying they should put the country first.

According to him, “Some of his appointees are more interested in their pockets than service delivery.

“Nobody is interested in developing Nigeria, only developing his pocket. You show example as a leader.”

He cited an example of how India developed, saying the South-Asian country channelled funds into medicine and information technology.

“It was remittances from Indians all over the world that they managed very well in India and developed IT, medical sciences and today, of the conglomerates in the world, 75 per cent of their heads are Indians.

“He should be told that some of his appointees are more interested in their pockets than service delivery,” Galadima said.

The elder statement also laid bare his disappointment at the performance of Tinubu’s administration over the past one year.

Galadima said that while he expected much from Tinubu upon his assumption of office, the Nigerian president has not done better.

“I expected him to do better than this; and to hit the ground running,” he added.
