From Wole Balogun, Ado Ekiti
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 .
