Political Appointments: APC Support Group Backs Those Who Worked

All who worked for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last elections, should rest assured, of political appointments; a pressure group is rooting strongly for them.

In fact, it has today called a press conference for that purpose, trying to woo the party’s high command to prioritise the appointment of those who labored to guarantee its victory.

The Eagle reports that the Bayelsa chapter of the Tinubu/Shettima Independent Campaign Council, (ICC), through its Director Finance, Mr Joseph Fafi, made such a case today, during a press briefing.

He said the chapter was actually worried that some highly placed individuals were making moves for some who did not really work towards the victory of the party, but want to reap from it.

“It is based on the forgoing that we have invited you to express our worry at the actions of some highly placed individuals both within and outside the state in recommending persons who contributed next to nothing for appointments.

“There are those whose sense of entitlement is only based on friendship to those at the corridor of power and not on effective participation.

“We have seen in the past few days persons and groups, even those who sat in their air-condition offices throughout the campaign period making unsubstantiated claims,” he said.

’He reiterated that the Bayelsa state of the movement led by Mr Preye Aganaba, had carefully established a structure of the party down and that the structure was effective helping to secure victory for the APC.

“Those who we campaigned in creeks and villages are eagerly waiting for the fulfillment of promises that were made.

“We are therefore appealing to Mr President to give priority to members of ICC in Bayelsa state in the ongoing recruitment process,” he said.

According to him, the mistake of the past whereby the party compensated some who did not really labour for it with political appointments, while ignoring those who did, should not repeat itself.

Should such a thing happen, he warned, the party would be the worse for it.
