Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, Umar Tanko Yakasai, has urged President Bola Tinubu\u2019s appointees to carry Nigerians along as they go about their assignments.<\/p>\n

He made the call after an Iftar event in Abuja on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to him, appointees of the current government should do well to be the shining light to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Yakasai also admonished Nigerians on the need to rally support for the current administration and ensure they shun all forms of tribalism and religious bias.<\/p>\n

\u201cFew of us that got appointed should do everything humanly possible to carry as many members of the support groups as they can along in order to distribute patronage and support one another as well as the president\u2019s efforts to reward party faithfuls,\u201d Yakasai, who doubled as the Director General of Tinubu Support Group, TSG, said.<\/p>\n

This is coming after Tinubu on Monday swore in Taiwo Oyedele as the country\u2019s Minister of State for Finance.<\/p>\n
