APC's Alwan Hassan Claims Ministers Pay Billions for Roles
Alwan Hassan, a spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, made allegations during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ programme. He stated that many ministers pay billions of naira to secure their appointments, which he believes contributes significantly to corruption within public office.
According to Hassan, appointees view public service as an investment that necessitates returns. He emphasized that this practice is not exclusive to the current APC administration, asserting that it has been a longstanding issue in Nigeria, predating the APC.
Hassan remarked, “A lot of ministers pay billions to be appointed, and the first thing they think of is how to recoup that money after being appointed.” His comments reflect a critical view of the systemic issues surrounding government appointments in Nigeria.
