Sowore Critiques Tinubu's Tenure Extensions for Officials
Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has condemned President Bola Tinubu's decision to extend the tenures of Kemi Nanna Nandap, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), by 18 months. This extension means Nandap will remain in office until June 30, 2028, and Nwakuche until May 26, 2028.
Sowore described the decision as “plainly wrong,” asserting that retaining what he termed “deadweights” in these positions undermines career advancement opportunities for other qualified officers. He expressed concerns that such extensions would negatively impact workers' morale and professionalism within the civil service.
Sowore further criticized Tinubu's governance style, suggesting that the President is merely rubber-stamping decisions influenced by entrenched interests rather than making independent, effective appointments.
