Stakeholders in the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State have said that rights activist, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), is qualified for the office of minister based on his antecedents as advocate of good gover­nance and defender of hu­man rights.

The APC stakeholders from Ekiti South-West Council Area of the state, who threw their weight behind the nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari of Falana as min­ister, said appointment of the rights activist, who they described as a “com­pletely neutral person, is the best thing that can happen to the party in the state for now as the legal luminary would be in the best position to rally all factions for success in fu­ture elections”.

They described as “mis­chief makers”, those who wrote petitions to chal­lenge his nomination on grounds that he was not a card-carrying member of the party on Ekiti State.

Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Engr. Segun Oni and the National Publicity secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed are currently jostling for a place in the cabinet of the president Muhammadu Buhari as ministers, Vanguard has learnt.

Similarly, five other members of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC have also indicated interest in various ministerial positions.

President Buhari, Vanguard gathered is expected to send the list of his ministers to the National Assembly this week as both chambers of the federal parliament resume plenary today and that he is not that much happy with the APC’s demand to be part of his cabinet.

A source at the national party secretariat in Abuja who craved anonymity said that Oni who was the former governor of Ekiti State was banking on the slot of the state.

The source added that his chances might be brighter as the present governor of his state, Ayo Fayose who is a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is not likely to be given the opportunity of nominating a candidate.

He however expressed fear that Oni might run into difficulty with another former governor of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi who also played a visible role in the emergence of president Buhari.
