About a month to the Presidential election, a Director in the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress, has resigned her appointment.
Naja’atu Muhammad was the Director of Civil Society before her resignation.
A Commissioner on the Police Service Commission, appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, Muhammad said she resigned so as to pursue her civil society activities in good conscience.
A no-nonsense Lady, Muhammad had, a few days ago, in an interview with Arise Television, expressed deep displeasure over the Government of Buhari and the APC. She scored them zero, and insisted that everything had gone from bad to worse.
He accused the Buhari Government of reneging on all the promises made to Nigerians, and lamented the insecurity, hunger and suffering in the land.
A few months ago when a student was, on the orders of First Lady. Aisha Buhari, arrested, detained and dragged to Court for an unflattering post on the First Lady, Muhammad was unsparing of Mrs Buhari.
She called for the First Lady’s arrest and prosecution for appropriating to herself, the powers she does not have.
At the Police Service Commission, she once wrote a petition against the immediate past Chairman, Musiliu Smith, accusing him of corruption and embezzlement of funds.
Smith, a former Inspector General of Police, resigned from office a few weeks later, a first of its kind in the history of the PSC.
President Buhari has not replaced Smith, but PSC’s Commissioner 1, a retired Supreme Court Justice, representing the Judiciary on the Commission, The Honourable Justice Clara Ogunbiyi, has been acting as the Chairman since Smith’s resignation.
Smith had cited ill-health for his resignation, but sources at the PSC, said Muhammad’s allegation against him was too much for him to continue in office.
