Nicolas Felix, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has hinted at who will serve in President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet.
After taking the oath of office on May 29, Tinubu would be required by the law to name his cabinet within two months.
Felix, however, is of the opinion that Tinubu would appoint talented, seasoned, and competent individuals to his cabinet in addition to party members because he values commitment and diligence.
Speaking on those that would make the cabinet of Tinubu, Felix said on Arise Television’s morning show on Tuesday, “Asiwaju is a man that rewards loyalty, he rewards hard work, there are also Nigerians out there who are not members of our party who are also talented and experienced and capable.
“He is going to also look beyond his APC and start picking those who are out there. But I am also very sure as he has stretched his hands of fellowship to say I want to build a government of national unity, If you are in PDP, If you are in Labour Party, you are in other parties, we are all Nigerians.
“When a president is elected, what is expected of every patriotic Nigerian is to join hands with the President to work together, except you are just here for your selfish interest. If you really want the growth of Nigeria, you want Nigeria to be better. Whatever you have to offer, you have to present yourself for service.
“He has already stretched his hands of fellowship. It is up to them to accept it and join him. I am sure he is not going to be running after people, he has already said come, let’s brainstorm. As many are willing to go to Asiwaju’s door, the President-elect for them to join hands together.
“So it is not totally up to him now. It is up to our opponent, those who are in other parties, to embrace him as he has already done. We are expecting that Asiwaju is going to have a great cabinet and his administration is going to cause things to work again.”
