President Muhammadu Buhari has
appointed another former aide of Sen. Ibikunle Amosun into the new board of the
Federal Inland Revenue Service to represent the South-West.
This is in spite of Amosun’s
suspension from the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Adewale
Ogunyomade served as Special Adviser for Rural Development to Amosun. His name
has been forwarded to the Senate, alongside others, for confirmation, pursuant
to Section 3(2) of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (Establishment) Act,
2007.
Amosun has succeeded in pushing
forward his political loyalists into Buhari’s government, fuelling speculations
that the President is well pleased with him.
Recall that the former Ogun State
Governor and Senator representing Ogun Central was suspended from the APC by
the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, for alleged anti-party activities.
But the lawmaker has been able to
outsmart his rivals from Ogun State, including former Governor Olusegun Osoba,
by having all Federal political appointments into his camp, without any
recourse to the incumbent Gov. Dapo Abiodun.
Recall that Amosun’s
former Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Olamilekan Adegbite, was
appointed as the Minister of Mines and Steel Development.
He also succeeded in pushing his
former Commissioner for Special Duties and InterGovernmental Affairs, Adeleke
Adewolu, to be appointed as the executive commissioner, Stakeholder Engagement,
at the Nigeria Communications Commission.
In the same vein, Amosun’s former
Commissioner, Urban and Physical Planning, Mrs Ronke Sokefun, was appointed as
the chairman of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Also, Bisi Adegbuyi became the
Postmaster-General/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Postal Services
through Amosun’s influence.
