A political pressure group in Gombe State, Gombe Youth Awareness Salvation Forum, has kicked against the nomination of Amina Al-Zubair as minister from Gombe State.
Coordinator of the group, Malam Abubakar Umar, stated this in Gombe yesterday while briefing newsmen.
He said, “It was very disheartening, we woke up and heard that Amina is the minister appointed to represent Gombe state”.
“Besides, she was part and parcel of the previous Government and an active member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ” he stated.
He said there were people that contributed a lot to the emergence of APC and they are credible and can represent Gombe State anywhere.
“Going by the list of the ministers, 97 per cent of them are APC card carrying members, but that in the case of Amina, even the constituency she comes from, APC did not win election there during the last general elections.
“We see no reason why she should be appointed to represent Gombe,” he stated.
Abubakar appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to take a second look and reconsider his decision concerning the appointment of Amina Al-zubair as a minister representing Gombe State.
