Chairman of the foremost Ekiti socio-political group, E-Eleven, Femi
Ajiniran, has demanded the immediate replacement of the vacant
ministerial position for Ekiti.
The group expressed concern that months after the state
representative and former Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Captain Caleb
Olubolade, resigned his appointment, no replacement has been made.
He expressed this position in a statement made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti.
“We expect that almost immediately a minister resigns his/her
appointment, a replacement would be named and processed through
confirmation to guarantee no loss of representation. This is
particularly so in a situation where adequate notice is given of the
impending vacancy,” the group stated.
“The President needs to move now to reassure the people of Ekiti
State whose patience is thinning out, that this Presidency means well
for them and has their interest at heart. The representation of every
state in the Federal Cabinet should be considered sacrosanct as not to
be subjected to the vicissitudes of politics and its exigencies.
We therefore call on the President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, to
name without further delay the minister to represent Ekiti State in the
Federal Cabinet.
“We expect no less following this Presidential albeit partisan visit
to Ekiti State. This is what Ekiti people deserve. Mr. President, name
our Minister now!” the group demanded.
