The Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, has reportedly appointed the wife of the Attorney-General of the state, Oyinkansola Akande, as a Special Assistant in the office of her husband, Femi Akande.
This development has triggered controversy among cabinet members who suggest that the action depicts nepotism and could be a breach of oath of office.
Many within and outside the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state have wondered why Mrs Akande would be on the payroll of the government as her husband.
Mr Akande is the son of a leader of the APC and former governor of the state, Bisi Akande.
NDDC: Group faults ex-militants, Reps minority caucus on sole administrator
Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja
The Network Advancement Programme for Poverty and Disaster Risks Reduction, on Wednesday, faulted the position of the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers and Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives on the recent appointment of sole administrator for the Niger Delta Development Commission.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had on Saturday sacked the Kemebradikumo Pondei-led Interim Management Committee of the commission and named the acting Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Effiong Akwa, as the sole administrator.
The RNDA, however, faulted the appointment of Akwa who it described as a brother to the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, saying the appointment would be provocative and could trigger a new round of violence in the creeks.
