The Coalition of Northern Patriots (CNP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to suspend the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Mohammed Bello-Koko, and Emmanuel Jime, his counterpart at the Nigerian Shippers Council, over their alleged involvement in the presidential campaign of the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
The CNP President, Samson Aaron, said the coalition urged Tinubu to probe their activities and prosecute them if found culpable.
The coalition further urged Tinubu to flush out without delay, all bad eggs in the current administration.
He also urged the President to continue the cleansing of MDAs in the same manner he has done with the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
“The suspension and arrest of Godwin Emefiele came as a relief to many Nigerians. It showed that the President is out to sanitize the mess he met on the ground,” he said.
“While this is the right step, we have pieces of evidence that there are even more unscrupulous individuals still in government. These bad eggs will soon contaminate the system if not fished out.
“The Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Mohammed Bello-Koko, and Emmanuel Jime, his counterpart at the Nigerian Shippers Council should be investigated. We have enough proof to back this claim.
“We, therefore, call on the president to probe these two (aforementioned) and prosecute them if found guilty. This administration started on a strong foot and it must sustain it by going all out for other corrupt officials,” he further said.
