N’Assembly leadership: Aspirants inducing NWC members with rice, says Lukman

According to Lukman, the unsolicited gesture reeks of corruption and a deliberate attempt to bribe decision-makers in the party.

“Another member of the House of Reps, also from my zone, aspiring for the position of Speaker of the House, I learnt has also sent bags of rice to individual members.

“As of today, we have not yet taken decision on zoning for offices in the party. And I think it’s wrong for leaders at the level we are talking about to engage in unethical conduct. “I want to appeal to our party. I’ve been an advocate of having a code of conduct within the APC. It is not by accident that God bestowed the responsibility of ruling this country in our hands.

“It is not by accident that we also find ourselves in the NWC. I think everything needs to be done to sanitise the party and those who are engaged in unethical conduct, if I have my way, should be disqualified from contesting for the positions they aspire for.”All rights reserved.
