$2.1bn arms deal: Jonathan’s appointees embarrass Nigeria –APC chieftain

AS corruption charges against former
political appointees now take centre stage
in the country’s politics, a member of the
seventh House of Representatives and
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Opeyemi Bamidele, has described as
‘embarrassing’, the corruption cases being
allegedly established against some
appointees of former president Goodluck
Jonathan.
He spoke against the backdrop of the $2.1
arms deal. He said it was a breach of trust
by public officials.
Bamidele warned those appointed by
President Buhari to be conscious of the fact
that Nigerians voted for him based on his
enviable anti-corruption records, urging
them not to betray the confidence reposed
in APC to bring desired changes to the
system.
Bamidele said this in a statement issued in
Ado Ekiti by his media aide, Ahmed Salami
yesterday, congratulating Senator Babafemi
Ojudu on his appointment as Special
Adviser on Political Matters to Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo .
