Senator Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker from Kaduna state, has listed some prominent Nigerians President Tinubu should have appointed ministers.
Sani, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), mentioned the names in an interview published by The Punch on Sunday, August 27.
Asked what advice he would give the president if he met with him, Sani said he would have told Tinubu to appoint people based on their credibility, competence and capacity to deliver.
The human rights activist said he would have advised the president to appoint his sports minister from among former sportsmen or women.
“I wanted to see a sports minister like Jay Jay Okocha, Segun Odegbami, Daniel Amokachi, or Mary Onyiali, or people who have worn our national jersey,” he said.
President Tinubu, who recently inaugurated his cabinet, named Senator John Enoh, the minister of sports.
Allen Onyema as aviation minister
Speaking further, Sani said the owner of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, would have been a better pick as the aviation minister.
“I wanted an aviation minister who has the requisite experience in the aviation sector, someone like Allen Onyema, the owner of Air Peace, and others who know the problem of the aviation sector and how they can solve the problem,” the PDP chieftain added.
