Tinubu gives appointment to Wike's ally
This is coming barely a week after Tinubu appointed George-Kelly Alabo as the director-general of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA).
Alabo was a commissioner for works under Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state but resigned a day after Tinubu's appointment.
His resignation as a commissioner under Fubara came amid rift between the governor and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
CCB speaks on inviting Tunji-Ojo for questioning
Legit.ng earlier reported that Tunji-Ojo was said to have requested another date to appear before the Code of Conduct Bureau for questioning.
The development followed initial claims that the minister shunned the bureau that had invited him for interrogation over the N438m contract scandal.
A leaked memo showed that a firm linked to the minister was awarded the N438m contract for a consultancy fee by the suspended minister of humanitarian affairs, Betta Edu.
