Adolphus Wabara, the former president of the Nigerian Senate, was reportedly refused a job placement since the request did not fall under the purview of the Federal Character Commission’s jurisdiction.

This declaration addresses Wabara’s recent allegations that the FCC turned down requests for jobs for residents of his district because he refused to pay bribes.

The former legislator had claimed that some FCC employees had obstructed his attempts to get his people jobs because he wouldn’t “drop any money.”

You won’t believe that I haven’t dropped any money and they can’t even ask me to drop money, which is why nothing has been done up until now, he claimed.

In response to Wabara’s allegations, the FCC’s spokesperson, Dr. Chuks Okoli, made it clear that Wabara was informed during his visit in March 2023 by the organization’s executive chairman, Dr. Muheeba Dankaka, that the commission was not operating as a recruiting agency.

The Commission issued a challenge to Wabara to substantiate his allegations, advising the public to reject his allegations of a “bribe for FCC job slot,” noting that the Executive Chairman had strictly adhered to the Federal Character standards in the hiring process ever since entering office.

It would be very appreciated if His Excellency, the former Senate President, could provide evidence to support this serious claim, or at least identify the individual or people who allegedly urged him to pay a bribe in order to obtain FCC job spots for his granddaughters and offspring.

The general public is being requested and encouraged to reject this unsupported claim made by former renowned Senator Adolphus Wabara of a “bribe for FCC Job slot.”

Since taking office, the Executive Chairman has enforced the Federal Character concept strictly when it comes to MDA staff hiring.
