A Coalition of All Progressives Congress, APC Youths in Delta State, has called on President Bola Tinubu to consider a Nigerian with track record in philanthropy like the Chief Executive of QAT Foundation, Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho as the next Minister of Humanitarian Affairs.
The group, in a statement released on Monday by one of its leaders, Mr. Agbigbe Ochukwo, said “the call is prompted from the current situation and hardship faced by the Nigerians and the need to give this position and its responsibility to someone who is selfless, who feels the suffering and cry of the Nigerian masses for a better life and very accessible with passion for humanitarian service.”
It, therefore, called for consideration of Tejuosho for the office, stating that her track record has given her up in helping the less privilege in the society.
“Whenever she has the opportunity to reach out, her love for person’s with disabilities is infectious and undiluted. Giving her this opportunity to serve Nigerians will be putting a square peg in a square hole. She is the right person for the job.
“We believe that the only way Mr. President can succeed in restoring hope back to Nigerians is by giving the jobs of good governance to the right people with tested records and experience,” he stated.

The coalition appealed to the President to consider its humble request and that of most Nigerians by giving Tejuosho the opportunity to show what she is capable of doing and to tap from her wealth of humanitarian service experience.
“We are confident that Mr. President will grant this request because he is a man that always goes for the best hands. And as rumours of cabinet reshuffling keep spreading, we know that Mr. President will bring in the right hands on deck his cabinet to help drive and fulfill the renewed hope agenda and bring succumb to the masses.
“We use this medium to reiterate our support to Mr. President’s progressive policies and agenda in repositioning the country for the best,” the group pleaded.
