The Nigerian Presidency on Sunday, August 6, announced the sack of two new board nominees of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other offences Commission (ICPC) appointed by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo last week. The Presidency said the nominees were being stepped down over the ongoing investigation by the commission which presents a conflict in their appointments.

In a tweet by the spokesperson to the Acting President Laolu Akande, the presidency said, although basic check showed no court convictions against the appointees, the present administration must do the needful amid weighty petitions leveled on them.

Akande said: "We are stepping down 2 of the new ICPC board nominees who have ongoing investigation issues with the commission as this presents a conflict." Unknown gunmen attack Anambra church, between 15-50 reported dead (video)

lol

good move.

Better! Instead of setting up a committee for endless investigations

Very disgraceful to the government that such an unforgivable mistake was made in even nominating without any serious vetting.

A leader listens,probe into the issue by investigating it and then take action based on findings..that's a leader!

God bless PYO, the able Acting President.

Way to go Osinbajo. I knew you had it in you.

Take a deep breath... A competent fellow shouldn't appoint anyone without running a background check on the person. Employ a dog to secure a bone? How does it reflect competency? No hard feelings tho

They must be Igbo.....

Cabal set the commissioner up only to expose his foolery

ICPC that's supposed to be corruption free, is rocking corruption allegations

Genesis of square pegs in round holes...even Baba Osinbajo, smh. Everything is politicized in this shithole... The eyebrow raised now isn't a genuine one but a reaction to higher interest. Abi who amongst them isn't corrupt?

This government is totally bereft of knowledge, ideas and foresight. Nairaland
We shall see this mistake corrected in 2019.

Am I the only one still asking about the findings on Mr.NOA and SSG Lawal?

....But it takes integrity to admit you have made a mistake and courage to set in motion steps to correct them rather than claiming infaliability. My feeling are soft.

APC propaganda at it again....

'Forming activity',motion without movement.

Why did they not run a background check on the nominees before their names were submitted?

This is to give the impression that they are fighting corruption.

The last time I check, 'Saint' Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was had a court case for corruption and was still confirmed a minister.
