Philip Agbese

Philip Agbese, the House of Representatives member-elect for Ado, Okpokwu and Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, has faulted the last-minute appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari, as he hands over power to the incoming government.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart who expressed fear of the recent appointments leading to looting, said it should have been left for the new administration to handle.

He said;

“It is on record that over 20 new appointments have been made since Bola Tinubu was declared president-elect.

“Why the rush? It is clear that the current government is deliberately building up obstacles for Tinubu. They are giving room for chaos and a huge vacuum in governance, potentially opening the doors for massive looting.

“We are aware that these appointments are nothing short of political compensation for loyalists and apparently have nothing to do with competence. At a time when Buhari would have at least left a legacy by cutting the cost of governance, he is dishing out appointments like admission.”
