Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, senator John Udoedehe, has said he wouldn’t mind accepting an appointment from President Buhari as a messenger or a cleaner.
The APC chieftain said this in reaction to the recently released names of board members of various agencies.
Mr. Udoedehe, a former senator from Akwa Ibom State, was appointed as a board member for the Nigeria Information Technology Development Agency.
Mr. Udoedehe, a former minister, said he has been receiving several calls from his political associates describing the appointment as humiliating.
He said, It will be disrespectful to the president for me to reject the offer, I am a loyal party member.
If the president finds me worthy to be a messenger or a cleaner in the government, as a Christian I should humble myself and accept it.
I don’t want to give my enemies weapon to tell lies against me. I don’t want my enemies to go and tell the president ‘I told you this man is arrogant’.
The Bible talks about long suffering, talks about humility, talks about patience, and talks about gratefulness to God.
They are shocked by the reply I give them.
