Maxi Okwu, a former national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and public affairs analyst, gave his thoughts after news surfaced that federal members in the National Assembly’s red chamber earned holiday allowances.
Maxi Okwu stated his thoughts in an interview with the Daily Post, saying, “This is part of the cesspool of corruption and illegalities that persist.” We thought we’d seen it all with the Ahmed Lawan-led Ninth National Assembly, but the Akpabio-led 10th National Assembly is bound to be worse.”
He continued, “Akpabio has taken rubber-stamping to a Pro-Max level. He appears to be aligned with Tinubu’s interests. During the ministerial nominee screening, a candidate was on the verge of Senate rejection when they abruptly adjourned and hurried to the Presidential Villa with an excessive convoy, which is unnecessary, seeking guidance or instructions. This is a disastrous situation.”
Maxi Okwu went on to say, “We had thought we experienced the worst during Buhari’s administration, but the current situation is even more dire. We have transitioned from one challenging situation to another. The ruling APC seems to be comfortable with individuals associated with corruption.”
Maxi Okwu’s recent statement, shared on the verified Facebook page of The Daily Post paper, has prompted numerous reactions from Nigerians on the social media platform.
