Babatunde Fashola, the former Minister of Works and Housing, has stated that he does not need a political appointment before working for the present administration.
The former Lagos governor stated that he does not require a title to work in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Fashola, who was a two-term minister of works in the previous administration, was expected to become one of the new government’s leading political players.
However, the former governor, a close aide to President Bola Tinubu, has not been included in the new government’s various appointments.
Speaking with the newsmen, Fashola noted that there was a need to bring more outstanding public-spirited people to occupy spaces as they evolve.
He further noted that he would love to see a lot of young people involved in the current administration.
He said, “I do not need a title to serve; the President can only appoint at least one minister, for example, from each state, which he has done.”
He further urged all and sundry to work to see the success of Nigeria and Tinubu’s administration.
“All of us must play our roles as citizens, and a citizen does not need a title to serve.
“We are also talking about the next generation.
“If some do not move on, where is the place for the next batch?” he noted.
