Effiong Inibehe, a Lagos-based human rights lawyer, has slammed President Bola Tinubu over his nomination of some former governors and other politicians with corruption allegations for ministerial offices.
Inibehe, via Twitter on Monday, August 7, opined that the list is Tinubu’s plan to organise a carnival for “thieves”.
He added that the nominees, especially the former governors, are individuals who have corruption baggage, with many of them facing ongoing corruption cases.
His words:
“It appears Mr Tinubu has made up his mind to organise a carnival for ‘thieves’. That is the way I see it.
“If you look at most of the nominees, especially the governors, they are individuals who have corruption baggage. Many of them have ongoing corruption cases.”
The ministerial nominees include the former governor of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle and some other former governors and politicians who are under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and other anti-graft agencies for corruption, money laundering and abuse of their offices.
