Former Minister of Sports, Bala
Ka’oje, has faulted the endorsement of certain individuals for juicy positions
in the ninth National Assembly by the National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.
According to Kaoje, an APC chieftain
from Kebbi state, the ruling party under Oshiomhole ought to have zoned the
positions to regions and not to individuals.
In an interview with Leadership
newspaper, the ex-Minister said: “I advised that we should zone National
Assembly positions as quickly as possible to regions. If you zoned the office
of the Senate president to the northeastern states for example, there is
nothing wrong in nominating three people and forwarding their names to the zone
for them to select one person.
“All we heard was that the
chairman of the party nominated the President of the Senate and the Speaker of
the House.
“You can’t appoint people to lead
the Senate and the House. It’s a problem in the APC and that problem will
continue to happen because the party is not doing the right thing.
“Oshiomhole is only interested in
his interest. See what we faced in Rivers, Zamfara, Cross Rivers and the rest
of the states. He keep making too many errors that are bad for the party.
“The party chairman is claiming
he knows everything. No one wants to consult people like us. I’ve been to the
APC chairman’s house more than five times. I left my card but he never look for
me. They don’t care about the advise we offer even in the pages of the
newspaper and that could be detrimental in the National Assembly elections.”
