A Coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups in Cross River, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to review the appointment of Mr Akin Rickett as Chairman, Governing Board, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
The coalition made the call in a statement signed by its Chairman Mr Iso Bassey and Secretary Mr Edo Owan in Abuja on Thursday.
It urged the President to investigate the process through which Rickett was appointed.
“APC in Cross River has more than enough critical stakeholders, leaders and members, who contributed immensely and reasonably to the growth of the party.
“These relevant stakeholders have cognate experience in leadership and also sacrificed for the party, served the state and country in various capacities.
“APC would be facing a fresh general election in 2023, hence the need to give appointments to political assets and those that would build the party for victory and not to give appointments based on friendship and sentiments.
“We hereby call on the President to review the appointment of Rickett as Board Chairman of NPA.
“And we also urge the President to always consult critical stakeholders in the state in the event of any appointments,” the coalition said.
