The leader of the group urged President Tinubu to resist the temptation of appointing any of them as ministers or cabinet members.
The statement partly read:
“We are foot soldiers of the APC in this part of the country and therefore making a categorical statement urging Mr President and the APC as a political party not to entertain the idea of nominating any of the former governors from the region in the incoming cabinet. They do not have the required capacities and capabilities to drive the process.
“Our demand is legitimate and is consequent upon the misdeeds that some of them during the 2023 general elections were mostly moles and fifth columnists used by the opposition parties and in most cases funds given to them for elections were personalised and kept for self-serving purposes.”
