Ashowdown is imminent at the headquarters of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged plans by members of the dissolved board to return to office.
President Bola Tinubu had on June 19, 2023 dissolved boards of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), including the ICPC.
However, TheCable understands that members of the dissolved board have insisted that the ICPC was not affected by the presidential directive and are set to resume duties on February 19.
Insiders said the affected board members have continued to lobby the presidency through the office of the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) and that of the vice-president that the ICPC board should be excluded from those dissolved.
“Since 19, 2023, the staff of the commission have continued to be notified every week that they are resuming back to the commission the following week,” a source told TheCable.
“A letter purported from the office of SGF was dropped by a representative of the board members last week asking them to return back to the commission to complete their terms of office.
“Since the letter was dropped at the commission, the chairman has been under intense pressure to stop the board members from resuming work on Monday, February 19.”
