FCC Clarifies Wabara’s Job Placement Claims: Ex-Senate President’s Allegations Baseless
The Federal Character Commission (FCC) has responded to allegations made by former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara, regarding the commission’s job placement processes. Wabara claimed that the FCC refused to place individuals in his constituency in jobs, citing that he was asked to pay a bribe to secure slots for his children and grandchildren.
However, in a statement released by the FCC’s Director of Public Affairs and Communication, Dr Chuks Okoli, the commission clarified that Wabara’s claims were unfounded. According to the statement, during a visit to FCC Executive Chairman, Dr Muheeba Dankaka, in March 2023, Wabara was informed that the commission was not functioning as a recruitment agency. Instead, its role is to monitor recruitment processes in various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure fairness and equity.
The FCC also challenged Wabara to provide evidence to support his claims, urging the public to disregard his allegations. The commission stated that Executive Chairman Dankaka has maintained a strict adherence to the principles of Federal Character in recruitment processes since taking office.
The statement further emphasized that Wabara was asked to provide specific names of individuals who requested bribes or substantiate his allegations. The FCC also urged the public to disregard the unsubstantiated claim of “bribe for FCC job slot” made by Wabara.
It is worth noting that Wabara’s initial allegations have been met with skepticism by many, who have questioned the veracity of his claims. The FCC’s clarification has added fuel to the fire, casting doubt on Wabara’s version of events. The commission’s strict adherence to Federal Character principles has been commended by many, and it is clear that the FCC will not be swayed by unfounded allegations or bribery attempts.
