AS the tenure of Mallam Ibrahim Mori Baba, the Post-Master General of NIPOST ends next month, a succession battle has surfaced among members of its hierarchy, over who takes over the top job.

Some of them are worried that the outgoing Post-Master General maybe scheming to hand over to his preferred candidate from the North-Central, thereby rubbishing the principle of Federal Character in such appointment.

Mori Baba, is from the North-West, a zone from where the last two occupants of the seat hailed from.

Abubakar Argungu held the post from 2000 to 2005 before being replaced by Mora Baba, who had remained in the position till date.

Record obtained from NIPOST on history of appointments showed that from 1985 to 1989, the post was zoned to the South-East under Thomas Ike; from 1989 to 1994, it was zoned to the North-West under Mr Nathaniel Zome; from 1994 to 1995 and 2000, it was zoned to South-West under Mr Bamidele (in acting capacity) and Mr Taiwo Olukolu.

The South-South region has never held the post of the Post-Master General in its 150 years of establishment.

It was gathered that those angling for the position were Deputy Post-Master General (Mail Operations), Osadolor Eboigbodin (Edo); Deputy Post-Master General (Special Duties), Richard Balami (Borno) and Deputy Post-Master General (Engineering and Technical Services) Arch. Ade Ogun (Kwara).

Others are Deputy Post-Master General (Human Resoures Managment); Chibiri Ndahi (Borno); acting Deputy Post-Master General (Finance and Investment) Joseph Ariyo (Ekiti) and Deputy Post-Master General (Counter Operations) Emmanuel Emem (Benue).

It was gathered that the struggle for the top job and the perceived marginalisation of a section of the country was causing apprehension in the organisation.

A NIPOST source, who wanted to remain anonymous, said if the outgoing Post-Master General handed over to the candidate from the North-Central, it would amount to sacrificing “professionalism, experience, exposure and integrity in the selection of Post-Master General.”

The source cited more qualified individuals for the post, including Eboigbodin from the South-South, who has never held the post, saying, “if you look at the records of all the contenders, he is way above them, as he has served in many stations and departments than others.”
