A former Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ebonyi State, Nwoba Chika Nwoba has described the appointment given to former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim as the height of embarrassment.
NATIONAL POST reports that in the latest appointments announced by the Tinubu presidency, Anyim was named chairman of the Nigerian National Merit Awards.
However, Nwoba known for his fierce criticism of bad governance, likened the appointment to chairmanship of a burial committee of friends.
He said Anyim, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, earned the embarrassment from Tinubu because he doesn't respect himself even as an elder.
In a post on his Facebook page, Nwoba wrote, “The appointment given to Senator Anyim Pius Anyim is akin to chairmanship of a burial committee of friends.
“It's next to nothing and Anyim himself is aware of it. I'm sure he'll not be happy receiving it. Since he didn't want to respect the political height he has attained so far by playing the stakeholder roles, he should be comfortable with children's meal.
“That's what comes to men who don't know when to call it a day.
“Chairman of Committee for the Nigerian National Merit Awards is a job for Professor emeritus. Just go there and gloss around what's happening and that's it all.
“National honour awards aren't an every year exercise.
“Tinubu knows how to embarrass elders behaving like children. Must you be around government at all times?
“You've been Senate President and SGF. Thank God for these. You've been known to Nigerians.
