“Again, the issue of anti-corruption. l think the Ministers should also cue into the anti- corruption fight with the President.  Most importantly the first thing the administration should do in this second term is the creation of job opportunities for the teeming youths.

“You know most of these people you see that are demonstrating or joining Boko Haram or kidnapping are as a result of lack of jobs. With the creation of jobs l believe that President Muhammad Buhari would be able to tackle some of the issues. Let us support Mr. President and his team on what they are doing so that Nigerians can move forward.

“What Nigerians should know is that the President is in the position to know what is good for Nigeria now. So, for him to have appointed them as Ministerial nominees meant that he has gone through their records and see them qualified.

“We should not start criticizing them, let us give them time and let them perform. Any of them who refuses to perform, there is room for change. You can change them.”
