THE Epetedo Indigenes Association has rejected Governor Sanwo-Olu’s new cabinet list for lack of equity.
According to a statement signed by Maroof-deen Babatunde Oshodi, Mondiu Babatunde Sarumi and Nosiru-deen Adegboyega Oshodi, Chairman, Vice-chairman and General Secretary respectively, the composition of the new cabinet falls short of the expectation of the electorates.
They therefore called for a holistic reappraisal of the 39 names published so as to justify equity and balance of distribution.
“With all sense of responsibility, we view with utmost dismay the lopsided distribution of the said list and strongly request for an urgent review of the composition, so as to give all the much desired equity and equal opportunity as provided by both the Nigerian Constitution and sense of fairness.
“Accordingly, we feel shortchanged by this list of commissioners. It is out rightly unacceptable to us.
“Our decision to ventilate our stance derives from the seeming hard stance of the governor after all the citizens sacrificed for him to shield him from electoral defeat.
“We hereby register strongly the disappointment of EPETEDO Indigenes with the contemptuous disposition of the governor to the people that stood for and with him when the going was rough, really rough.
“It’s in this regard, that we call on the Lagos State Government, the APC Leaders in Lagos Island and all others concerned in the exercise of appointing, nominating, recommending etc, to revisit the 39 names as published and do an holistic reappraisal to justify equity and balance of distribution.” the statement said
