That is why I suggested to change Maryam Shetty - Ganduje
The National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, said that Maryam Shetty was given the name of Maryam Shetty to be appointed as a minister from Kano, without his knowledge.
However, he said the president has the right to appoint the people he wants to go with as ministers from the states of the country based on his plans and the skills of the people and other needs.
In an interview with other media including Freedom Radio on Saturday, the former governor, who is the leader of the party in Kano, said that he did not have complete knowledge about Maryam Shetty, in fact they did not know her. as APC leaders from Kano.
Therefore, "you see, we do not have any standard to say that she can or cannot do this job if we ask for our advice".
Ganduje said that the response of people on social media also played a role in taking the decision to change the name of Dr. Maryam Shetty, after some people have already shown that she cannot hold the position of minister in Nigeria because she has never held one. no government position.
The APC leader said that this is how the news reached the president, who called Ganduje to hear his advice.
He said to me, what is happening, did you give her name? I told him no at all, it's not me, I don't even know, then he said, did you see it? is there a need to change?, I told him very seriously,'' said the former governor of Kano.
Ganduje said that the position of minister is a position that requires seniority and knowledge (skills), and he needs to play an important role in the establishment of the government politically.
"Well, if you weigh these things, we should be asked if we want to be represented from Kano state," he said.
He said that even if someone gives a suggestion, they should be consulted, and if it is appropriate, they should give support.
The removal of Maryam Shetty's name from President Tinubu's list of ministers, like announcing her name among those who will be appointed in the first place, has caused a lot of debate especially among the youth and women of the country.
Many say that what has been done shows a lack of appropriateness and vision.
