Shut Off Desperate Lobbyists, Dubious Characters Not Fit For Appointment, Col Umar Tells Tinubu

Former Military Governor of Kaduna State, Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd) has urged President Bola Tinubu, to shut off those he called “desperate Lobbyists” and concentrate.

In a statement Monday, Umar said, “Mr Pesident please avoid the company of people who show embarrassing desperation in lobbying for appointment in your government.

“Public office is a trust which should not be extended to persons of dubious character particularly former Governors who have bankrupted their states and left them with heavy debt burden and deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines.

“You cannot afford to be diverted from the onerous task of reclaiming the country which Dr Umar Ardo correctly characterised as a failed state.”

Full text of his statement reads:

Shut Your Door Against Desperate Lobbyists, Mr President

Mr Pesident please avoid the company of people who show embarrassing desperation in lobbying for appointment in your government.

Public Office is a trust which should not be extended to persons of dubious character particularly former Governors who have bankrupted their states and left them with heavy debt burden and deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines.

You cannot afford to be diverted from the onerous task of reclaiming the country which Dr Umar Ardo correctly characterised as a failed state.

Col. A.D Umar (Rtd)
