Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National Democratic Party's (NDC) Vice-Presidential Candidate, has outlined how political appointments under the NDC government will be made. Speaking in an interview with NAN, Kwankwaso emphasized that appointments would be based on competence and the country's needs rather than political affinity or personal connections.
He stated that the administration would seek competent individuals, including technocrats, professionals, and experienced politicians, to effectively manage various ministries, departments, and agencies. Kwankwaso highlighted that the president and vice-president cannot govern alone and that capable individuals would be needed to support the administration.
He also noted that specialized ministries would require people with relevant professional knowledge and experience. Kwankwaso, a civil engineer and former civil servant, clarified that technocrats should not be seen as outsiders to politics, as some politicians have strong professional backgrounds. The NDC candidate promised an immediate formation of the cabinet after inauguration to avoid unnecessary delays, as elected officials have only four years to deliver on their mandates.
He further emphasized that an NDC government would prioritize competence, experience, and capacity in selecting individuals to serve Nigerians, with the aim of fostering effective delegation of responsibilities and achieving good governance.
