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.”
