A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has condemned the appointment of the chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch Adedeji, to a fundraising position in President Bola Tinubu’s campaign council.
Melaye shared his reservations on his X account on Sunday.
He argued that the appointment could create a conflict of interest because the NRS chairman is a public official responsible for revenue collection.
“The chairman of FIRS is the deputy director in charge of fundraising of presidential campaign of Tinubu,” Melaye alleged.
“Is there no conflict in this? As a lawyer, by the grace of God, on Monday I’m going to court. We have to test that,” he said.
Melaye also criticised the size and structure of the campaign council, describing it as “very, very, very bogus” and alleging that some committees and positions had been duplicated.
Melaye said he would challenge the matter in court, arguing that public officials are expected to comply with the provisions of the Public Service Rules.
“If that is not conflict of interest, I don’t know what else it would be,” he said.
He vowed to continue opposing Tinubu’s re-election bid, declaring that “the battle to stop Tinubu is a battle of no retreat, no surrender.”
