The Young Progressives Party(YPP) presidential candidate in the last general election, Kingsley Moghalu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to be careful in his choice of cabinet members.
While speaking at a book launch in Anambra State, Moghalu, said the president should pick his cabinet based on competence and not other factors such as party membership.
The former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) also urged the president's administration to fix the nation's security challenges to stop it from becoming a failed state.
He said, "Nigeria, as a country, is drifting into the status of a failed state. With the security situation we have in the country, if it is not corrected, the path to the state failing is staring us in the face.
"So there is an imperative on the government to perform its number one duty, which is to secure the lives and properties of the citizens of the country.
"Also, the economic problems must be tackled headlong; poverty is rife in this country and it is a shame that Nigeria with all our human and natural resources is judged the poverty capital of the world.
"My advice to President Buhari is to pick members of his cabinet very carefully and competence should be his priority, not membership of party or close associates.
"He is not going to run for any election in Nigeria and should use this last opportunity to write his name in gold or bury it in the dustbin of history of non-performers."
