A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Richard Kpodo, on Friday, asked the president-elect, Muhammudu Buhari, not to appoint politicians with questionable characters and those not cleared of corrupt charges by the existing anti-corruption agencies into his proposed cabinet, warning that any wrong appointment made may send the wrong signal about his administration.

Kpodo, who served as the Bayelsa State Chairman of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Security Adviser to the Bayelsa State Government, said though the zero-tolerance status of the president-elect is known to Nigerians, the need to tread carefully and verify the status of any proposed political appointees is important to the proper take-off of the change needed in the various sectors of the nation’s economy.
