The Concerned Democrats of Conscience, CDC, an amalgam of civil society groups from the North East geo-political zone has commended President Bola Tinubu, for appointing two of its illustrious sons to the position of advisers in the Presidency.

Rising from a stakeholders meeting in Abuja, commended the president for appointing Malam Yau Darazo, as special adviser political and Malam Nuhu Ribadu as national security adviser.

The forum in a statement issued by its National Convener/Chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim Modibbo and Strategist/Secretary, Macaulay Honuhashi, described Darazo, who until now was an aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, as a seasoned media practitioner with a track record of solid personal achievements and unalloyed loyalty.

The group added that Darazo, who was recently conferred with a national honour is a man of exceptional character and credibility with an excellent record of performance in service.

“CDC is happy to associate itself with this appointment as it was a right step in the right direction, or better still putting a square peg in a square hole. As a grassroot mobilizer and a silent achiever in the political circles, Mal. Yau Darazo will surely add a lot of value to any assignment given to him by the Tinubu/ Shettima administration.

“As a loyalist and a man with clinical record of service, Mal. Yau Darazo had never belonged to any cabal that looted Nigeria, but is someone who displays his courage of conviction and transparently executed his mandate while in office.

“It’s noteworthy to state that this appointment is seen all over the North East zone as credible and worthy, and has received serious commendation from critical stakeholders, youths, women groups and intellectuals”, the group disclosed.

The CDC also singled out the appointment by Tinubu of Mal. Nuhu Ribadu, as national security adviser for commendation

It stated that as a high ranking retired police officer with an unblemished record of service, the former anti- corruption czar has served this country meritoriously, adding that his appointment to the exhaulted office did not come to many as a surprise.

“In this period of serious national security challenges, the CDC is of the opinion that Mal Nuhu Ribadu has the Midas touch to break the barriers of insecurity that confronts Nigeria. If others failed, given the right opportunity and much needed cooperation, Mal Nuhu Ribadu will succeed”, it added.

The CDC congratulated the Tinubu /Shettima administration for its people oriented programmes within the last three weeks and prayef for the execution of such programmes with a view to changing the face and character of the nation’s current democratic experiment.
