Ministerial Nominees: Gombe Youths Reject Amina Abubakar As Minister

A group known as Youth Salvation Awareness Forum Tuesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to have a rethink over the appointment of Amina Ibrahim Azubir as a Minister-designate from Gombe state.

Spokesman for the group, Abubakar Umar, Coordinator, Youth Salvation Awareness Forum, Gombe state chapter, said: “It is very disheartening in the sense that Amina Azubir was not part and parcel of APC and its development in this state.

“She was not a card-carrying member, and she had not contributed to the success of this government, and so, it is surprising and ridiculous to hear that she has been appointed”.

He said the list of appointees indicated that 95% of them are card carrying members of APC and in some states and wondered why it should not be the same in Gombe.

He said: “If it is the issue of credibility, I think there are people that are more credible and capable than Amina here in Gombe state APC that can even represent Gombe state very well at the Ministerial level more than her”.
