As Nigerians await the official unvielling of those to serve in the cabinet of the present government, former Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan has advised that whoever is appointed to serve as Minister must be mindful of his or her conduct as there will always be a day of reckoning.
This was as he clarified that neither himself nor his colleagues who were in the former administration are being victimised by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
Adesiyan, who made this known while exchanging views with newsmen in Akure, the Ondo state capital, noted that the probing of past ministers should not be seen as victimization by the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
He however warned against the selective probe of the President Jonathan’s administration, stressing that any probe to be carried out should be holistic.
According to him, “I was a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, whatever you are doing, you must be prepared because somebody somewhere, some time will ask questions.
“When Chief Obasanjo, the past President wrote a book: “My Watch,” somebody, Yinka Odumakin wrote another book: “Watch the Watcher.”
“Whatever they are doing today, somebody will do it to them tomorrow now; what they are doing is not new and it is good.
“When I was being appointed as a minister, I knew there would be a day of reckoning one time, and that was why I had to caution myself and make sure that everything I did was done by the rule, everything I did from the beginning to the end, followed due process. I trust most of the ministers did that too.’’
