A concerned Nigerian has expressed concern over an alleged delay in release of appointments letters to members of the 12 Nigerian River Basin Development Authorities (RBDAs) management teams.
An Ogun State businessman , Mr. Oluwole Komolafe described the situation as an attempt to undermine the powers of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who had given the approval for appointments.
Komolafe , in a statement made to available to newsmen urged the concerned authorities to do the needful without further delay.
He stated that these officials who were appointed on December 18,2024 have spent over ten weeks waiting to formally assume their roles,so as to enable them contribute their quota to the Renewed Hope of agenda of Mr President.
He explained that those appointed by Mr President were people of proven integrity and are capable of carrying their responsibilities.
“Tinubu knows reasons why he appointed those members to head various positions given to them and he believed they were capable to perform their duties
Itvwas worrisome, that these politicians of high calibers were been subjected to this kind of undue behavior and been denying to perform their roles given to them by Mr. President
due to lack of appointment letters
Mr. Komolafe recalled how many of these people had been travelled long distance from their respective states to inquire from the office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation ( SGF) in Abuja on why
their letters of appointments were not released but they were not gotten favourable feedback
Mr. Komolafe stated that a source told him that the delaying was alleged to be handiwork of a certain organisation ( name withheld) however called on the authority concerned not to be teleguided for their selfish agendas
He therefore added that politics should not be tied to the views of a certain profession but must based on competency to delivered by those appointed to head such an organization
Mr. Komolafe also mentioned that some politicians wanted to hijacked the appointment and gave it out to their cronny,who he said were not real politicians,a situation he described very dangerous
