$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 .
