The Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria has called on the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, to
“This issue we raised has nothing to do with National Assembly. I am talking about APC Constitution. It is an omission and we are following it up. We don’t want to give it different meanings. Because it’s not only in the APC that we have this. But it seems to be more pronounced in the ruling party and we want it corrected. It is a simple thing. There are other issues though.
Reacting to their concern, Ganduje promised to look into the issue, saying he understands their plight having served as a deputy governor. Ganduje said, “The position of a deputy governor is a controversial one in governance. That’s why God has no deputy. APC as a political party is interested in what happens in government. It’s a two-way thing. We get information from govt and pass it to the people, just as we receive complaints from the people and pass it to the government.
“Everybody is a servant. It is a no-go area. Deputy governors are being seen as spare tyres. And we all know the importance of a spare tyre. If you don’t need it when you are normal, you will need it when you are in trouble. “Another problem deputy governors will have to contend with is the issue of sycophancy. When you are walking with a governor and walk side by side to hear him when he talks, sycophants will say you are rubbish and all that. If you respect your principal by walking behind, sycophants will say you are developing a lukewarm attitude. Therefore you are retreating. Now, tell me which position will you take? It is difficult.”All rights reserved.
