The Nigerian President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has been advised to form an administration that will include women, religious leaders, youths and people with living with disabilities.
The Muslim Media Practitioners of Nigeria (MMPN), Oyo State chapter, said that this should be included in his resolve to prioritize competence, merit and integrity in running state affairs.
The advice is contained stated in a communique issued at the end of the association’s monthly meeting held in Ibadan and signed by the Chairman, Alhaji Adebayo Abdur-Rofih.
It also pointed out the need for the incoming government to fashion out modalities of entrenching true federalism with a view to addressing most of the nation’s ethnic, social and economic questions.
The Oyo State MMPN further charged the government both at the federal and state levels to as a matter of responsibility reduce high cost of governance so that available resources could be channelled into people-oriented projects and programmes for better living.
While cautioning political actors whose parties and candidates lost in the general elections to resist any attempt at constituting a clog in the wheel of the nation’s democratic existence and progress, MMPN enjoined them to follow the constitutionally approved procedures to present their grievances.
MMPN in Oyo State also charged the National Population Commission (NPC) to embark on adequate and result-oriented planning that would guarantee accurate and acceptable population and housing census in order to have reliable data for national planning and resource management.
