The Yoruba Youth Alliance, YYA, said at the weekend that the South-West deserved more ministerial positions in the new cabinet to be constituted by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The YYA National Leader, Comrade Jackson Olalekan Ojo, said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Oshogbo, the Osun State capital, less than a week after Jonathan sacked some ministers.
Ojo said this would address the imbalance power sharing of political offices in the country.
He requested that defence portfolio should be reserved for new nominee from Osun State.
Ojo also called on the President to allocate more ministerial positions to the South-West to address the imbalance in the sharing of political offices in the country.
He said: "The defence portfolio should be reserved for new nominee from Osun State and appointment into the defence should be based on experience and capability to hold the office in thrust for Mr. President.
"Now, it is an ample opportunity for Mr. President to replace the sacked ministers with those that will bring peace, development to the country, those tested by their people who are not going to be political liabilities to their party and to President that appointed them.
"There is no point giving such appointments to those that will spend the next two years studying and learning the rudiment of administering their respective offices.
"There is no doubt the fact that ministers that are recommended by the godfathers would be loyal to those that assisted them."
