Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has officially “stepped down” the nomination of Maimuna Aliyu and Sa’ad Alanamu, to the board of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other offences Commission, ICPC.
Recall, that Post-Nigeria was the first online media that unofficially announced the sack of the two nominees, on Sunday morning.
The action follows report by that two of the 14 members announced to the ICPC board, were being investigated by the anti-corruption agency, for alleged corruption in the region of N1 billion.
Confirming Post-Nigeria’s report, on Sunday evening, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo’s Spokesman, said the “ongoing investigation issues” of Aliyu and Alanamu with the Commission, “presents a conflict”.
“We are stepping down 2 of the new ICPC board nominees, who have ongoing investigation issues with the Commission, as this presents a conflict”, the statement read.
“While existence of allegations or petitions against someone should not necessarily disqualify them from considerations for appointments, this case presents a peculiarity, as we have confirmed that the agency in which they are to serve, is indeed investigating the two of them.
“A basic check showed no court convictions against them. But when weighty petitions come up, this administration will always do the right thing.”
