The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has been advised on who to
sack upon his assumption of office on May 29.
Deji Adeyanju, a public affairs analyst, urged Tinubu to
sack a board chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Lauretta
Onochie.
Tweeting, he lamented President Muhammadu Buhari’s attempt
to appoint Onochie as a Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC.
He wrote: “The first person I want Tinubu to sack is
Lauretta Onochie. How can such a sycophant be Board Chair of NDDC? He wanted to
even appoint her as an INEC Commissioner, gosh! Nigeria really fell off under
Buhari.”
Despite criticisms that trailed her nomination in December
2022, the Senate had confirmed Onochie as the substantive Chairman of NDDC.
Prior to her appointment, she was Buhari’s Special Assistant
on New Media.
Buhari had requested the Senate to confirm Onochie as the
substantive NDDC Chairman, a development that drew applause and condemnation in
some quarters.
