Following the expulsion of General Secretary Goodluck Obi
for lack of integrity as a disciplinary measure, Nigeria’s foremost
pro-democracy group, Campaign for Democracy (CD) at a special convention
recently held has elected a new secretary.
The group, following the recommendation of a 5-man
disciplinary panel which deliberated on the imperatives, unanimously elected
Comrade Ifeanyi Odili as the new general secretary, and advised members of the
public to desist from dealing with the expelled General Secretary, in any
capacity, as a member of the CD.
Also in a related development at the special convention, CD
has also condemned the recent demand by of fresh bailout funds by the Nigerian
Governors Forum from the Federal Government, adding that the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to investigate the utilization of the
previous bailout funds released in times past.
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari has twice rescued
states from bankruptcy, releasing bailout fund to facilitate salary payments
amongst other imperative needs but some states are still recorded to be owing
salaries.
While CD also endorsed the ongoing anti-corruption campaign
of the federal government, it also demanded an immediate release of the Vice
President Osinbajo led panel of investigation, on the former SGF Babachir
Lawal, and NIA DG, Ayo Oke.
