Nigerian Youths Reject Dayo Israel’s Ministerial Appointment

The National President of the Nigerian Students in Europe (NANSE) and presidential aspirant for the Nigerian Youth in Diaspora, Bashiru Saidu Muhammad, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to avoid considering suggestions to appoint Dayo Israel as Nigeria Minister of Youth.

Naija News reports there have been issues about who would get the Youth Minister appointment between Seyi Tinubu and Isreal for some days now.

However, Muhammad, in a statement made available to journalists, said Nigerian youths do not support Israel’s appointment.

He cited Israel’s lack of trustworthiness and leadership skills, stressing his inability to coordinate Nigerian youths properly.

Muhammad also called on President Tinubu to appoint a more experienced person Nigerian youths can bestow their trust in and represent their interests.

He said, “Dayo Israel is not known to be a good youth leader, and is not known to have the trust of the All Progressives Congress (APC), not to talk of Nigerian youth in general.

“He does not carry Nigerian youth along and is not a trustworthy person. We do not need such a person as our leader.

“We need a leader who is trustworthy, experienced, and has the best interests of the Nigerian youth at heart.”

Naija News recalls that Tinubu had appointed Abubakar Momoh as the Minister of Youths but he was later redeployed to Niger Delta Ministry.
