Barrister Adebayo Shittu, the ministerial nominee from Oyo State has his ministerial screening today. He started his introduction with these few lines:
“In my 36 Years of being in Politics, I have served in every sector of the Nigerian Governance Structure.’I started my politics from the day of Chief Obafemi Awolowo.”
After this, he went on to make some statements that angered quite a number of people on social media. Take a look:
1. On tackling the issue of youth restlessness.
If I have my way, all Religious Leaders should be paid Officers, they should be paid by the Government.
2. On tackling religious extremists.
‘Religion must be made compulsory in our institutions.’
3. On dealing with Fulani herdsmen in the country:
‘I believe that government should establish cattle ranches at the LG Level, State Level and FG Level.’
4. On stealing public funds:
I don’t need to be chased by the police or EFCC not to steal because l know God is seeing me so l cannot steal
5. On Boko Haram:
I don’t want to talk too much on this [Boko Haram] because I still have a family to take care of. ~Adebayo Shittu
