For appointing Ekiti man NPA chair, APC lauds Buhari

Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for the appointment of Emmanuel Olajide Adesoye, a native of the state as the chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).

The party made its feelings known in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, expressing confidence that Adesoye possesses the needed brilliance to turn things around at NPA.

“As NPA is a sensitive agency that requires honesty to manage, Adesoye’s appointment is therefore a vote for Ekiti as homeland for people of integrity, particularly at a time Buhari is cleaning up the system by appointing credible and honest Nigerians to man sensitive sources of revenue to rebuild Nigeria from the ruins the country was left by the last administration.

“This appointment complements that of another honest Nigerian, Col. Hameed Ali, who is leading another sensitive revenue-spinning source, the Nigeria Customs, as Comptroller-General at the time the country needs honest Nigerians to lead sensitive sources of revenue as oil prices crash in international market, fuelling exchange rate crisis with dire consequences on the living conditions of Nigerians, ” the party said.
