Afenifere Wants Senate to Reject Dankaka's Nomination as FCC Chairman via thisdaylive

The Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has implored the Senate to reject the nomination of Mrs Farida Dankaka as the Chairman of the Federal Character Commission .

The group emphasised that the FCC, according to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is meant to be the custodian of the principle of Federal Character and is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that all federal agencies and parastatals in Nigeria respect and adhere to this principle.

It added that: “This government has consistently violated one of the most ingenious and ambitious affirmative actions entrenched in our constitution to promote national unity uniquely named Federal Character. This consistent negation of a critical national consensus should be resisted and rejected by all well meaning Nigerians starting from the Senate. The seeds of national discord has been systematically sowed over the past five years and should be halted.
