Olorunnimbe Mamora, a former senator and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has rejected his appointment as chairman of the Abuja Investment and Infrastructure Centre.
Mamora, who was the deputy director-general of the Muhammadu Buhari campaign organization in 2015, openly rejected the appointment because it didn’t feel befitting as it was an equivalent of a state parastatal.
A source gathered that Mamora had met with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and expressed his displeasure with the appointment.
The source said Mamora, a former Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker and senator who represented Lagos-East senatorial district from 2003 to 2011, argued that people who never participated in the process that brought Buhari to power were occupying the front seats of government.
