The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has described the refusal of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige and the Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika to inaugurate the membership of boards in their respective ministries as a disservice to the party.

In a letter dated July 11 and addressed to the ministers, Oshiomhole expressed dissatisfaction that they had failed to reconstitute the boards which according to him, contravened the position of the National Executive Council (NEC) and the presidential directives  given all ministers.

Describing their actions as a great disrespect to the presidency, Oshiomhole directed both ministers to inaugurate all the boards under their ministries within one week or face the wrath of the party.

The letter read: “This is to inform you that the attention of the National Working Committee has been drawn to your refusal to inaugurate members of the re-constituted Boards under the supervision of your Ministry.

“This contravenes the position of the NEC, National Caucus and the Presidential Directives to all Ministers to inaugurate Boards of Parastatals under their Ministries. We find this attitude as disrespect to the President and disservice to our great party.

 “The party will henceforth no longer tolerate any appointee of government at all level who continues to willfully disregard lawful instructions from either the government or the party.

“In the light of the foregoing, you are hereby directed to inaugurate all the boards under your Ministries within one week, failure of which the party will take appropriate disciplinary measures against you.”
