FCT, Abuja – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been told to reconsider the appointment of Mr Yazid Danfulani and allow him to resume office as the executive secretary of the Solid Minerals Development Fund/Presidential Artisanal Gold Mining Initiative.
The North-West Progressives Ambassadors (NWPA) said Danfulani’s appointment was carried out in line with President Tinubu’s reward strategy to give back to those who worked tirelessly for the party in the last election.

The group president, Comrade Aminu Galadanci, and the Secretary-General, Hajia Aishat Mohammed, made this known in a statement made available to Henzodaily.ng
Galadanci and Mohammed urged President Tinubu to allow Danfulani to resume office in line with the earlier announcement of his appointment.
The group argued that Danfulani’s appointment would enable him to contribute his quota to the development of the Northwest and Nigeria as a whole.
“The youths in the Northwest are appealing to the president to allow Danfulani to resume work at the office as executive secretary.
“Mr. President, like we all know, is not only desirous of providing good governance, but it is equally important that people with the capacity to stand for Mr. President as his eyes are given sensitive positions that will add value to the citizens.”
Tinubu had on December 6 announced the appointment of Danfulani and a few hours later Tinubu cancelled Danfulani’s earlier appointment.

The group said Shinkafi had occupied the position for more than 8 years and had not added any value to the lives of people in the Northwest.
“She has not also understood the Renewed Hope Agenda policies of the current administration,”
