Oshiomhole gives Ngige, Sirika 7 days to inaugurate boards under their ministries

National chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole has read the Riot Act to the Ministers of Labour and
Employment, Dr Chris Ngige and that of Aviation, Sen.Hadi Sirika, on
the need to inaugurate all boards under their Ministries within one
week or face sanctions from the party.

In a letter dated July 11, 2018 and addressed to the ministers, the
APC chairman berated the ministers for failing to reconstitute the
Boards, which according to him contravenes the position of the
National Executive Council and the Presidential directives to all
Ministers, describing it as a great disrespect to the party.

The letter reads: "This is to inform you that the attention of the
National Working Committee has been drawn to your refusal to
inaugurate members of the re-constituted Boards under the supervision
of your Ministry.

"This contravenes the position of the NEC, National Caucus and the
Presidential Directives to all Ministers to inaugurate Boards of
Parastatals under their Ministries. We find this attitude as a
disrespect to the President and disservice to our great party.

"The party will henceforth no longer tolerate any appointee of
government at all level who continue to willfully disregard lawful
instructions from either the government or the party.

"In the light of the forging, you are hereby directed to inaugurate
all the boards under your Ministry within one week, failure of which
the party will take appropriate disciplinary measures against you," it
stated.
