Ibadan High Chief and Publisher of StreetJournal magazine, Wole Arisekola, has urged President Bola Tinubu to consider Ibadan for ministerial appointment.
He noted Ibadan suffered neglect and marginalisation under previous All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership at federal level.
He said in the Presidential election, Oyo State gave 449,884 votes to APC, of which 204,296 or 45.5 per cent came from Ibadan land.
According to him, no Ibadan indigene is holding post in Federal Government parastatals.
Arisekola said Ibadan has accomplished and seasoned technocrats who have never been accused of looting treasury, noting there were decent politicians of Ibadan extraction who Tinubu could choose from.
He said: “… I appeal that the minister to be appointed from Oyo State should come from Ibadan land and must be of integrity.”
