Alwan Hassan’s remarks on appointment scandal were not about Tinubu’s ministers, Felix Morka says

Felix Morka, the APC’s national publicity secretary, denied that ministers in Bola Tinubu’s administration paid billions of naira to secure their appointments, saying they were selected for their competence. He said Alwan Hassan, a spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, clarified that his remarks about payments for appointments referred to practices predating the current administration. Morka acknowledged that Hassan’s comments were ambiguous and distinguished ordinary political lobbying from paying money to obtain an appointment, which he called unacceptable.
