The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has raised significant concerns regarding the nomination of Wycliffe Oparanya to the Cabinet. In a letter addressed to the Clerk of the National Assembly, the EACC highlighted that Oparanya is currently under investigation for corruption, casting doubt on his suitability for the position.
The commission emphasized that Oparanya’s nomination is inappropriate due to the ongoing graft cases against him. They urged the National Assembly to reconsider his appointment, citing the importance of maintaining integrity and accountability in public office.
This development comes amidst increasing scrutiny of government officials and a growing demand for transparency and ethical conduct in public service. The EACC’s intervention is likely to spark further debate about the standards for public appointments and the impact of corruption investigations on individuals’ eligibility for high office.
