Appointments into statutory boards are therefore not an exception in this context.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a matter of fact, most of the agencies are so critical that only competent professionals and skilled technocrats must be appointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abioye, before his recent appointment and swearing-in by the state governor, had been a PDP chieftain and Special Adviser on Legal Matters to Governor Adeleke.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST had reported that the Osun APC, in a statement by its Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, criticized Abioye\u2019s appointment, insisting that there is nothing independent in the activities of the commission except its nomenclature with the appointment.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST also reported that the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in the state rejected Abioye\u2019s appointment as OSSIEC Chairman, holding that his appointment was a desecration of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Appointments of members of statutory boards based on merit, competence \u2014 Osun PDP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wpematico_credit\"><small>Powered by WPeMatico<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has stated that the appointment of chairmen and members of statutory commissions&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,853,490],"tags":[8,849,3197,3811,3813,281,3812,180,855,150,3810],"class_list":["post-2023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-osun","category-pdp","tag-akwa-ibom","tag-appointments","tag-based","tag-boards","tag-competence","tag-members","tag-merit","tag-news","tag-osun","tag-pdp","tag-statutory"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
