Ekiti State All Progressives Congress (APC) has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing an indigene of the state, Emmanuel Olajide Adesoye, as the chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
In a statement yesterday by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the APC expressed confidence that Adesoye, who hails from Ikoro Ekiti, will be a worthy ambassador of the state and demonstrate the needed brilliance to turn things around at NPA. He said:
โAs NPA is a sensitive agency that requires honesty to manage, Adesoyeโs 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.
โThis 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.โ
โYour hard work, honesty, integrity and amiable disposition to workers at Mobil, where you demonstrated rare Ekiti quality, no doubt prepared you for this onerous assignment. โ
Olatunbosun added: โWe trust that you will once again fly Ekiti colour in its true form and we assure you of our support at the home-front with prayers and we are ready to offer assistance in any area you may require such.โ
