The Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party have condemned the appointment of the ex-aide of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and self-acclaimed whistleblower, Michael Achimugu, as the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection in Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.
Achimugu was named in the list of 46 new directors announced on Thursday by the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, for the aviation agencies.
The name of Achimugu featured prominently during the electioneering campaign and the build-up to the 2023 presidential poll where he accused his former boss of allegedly stealing public funds through ‘Special Purpose Vehicles.’
The defiant whistleblower also claimed he was privy to how the former number two citizen laundered public money through the SPV.
