Confusion in Nass Sevice Commission: APW Calls for Fika's Resignation

The Association of Parliamentrary Writers APW has called on the Chairman of the National Assembly Servcie Commission to resign over his role in the crisis that has enveloped the National Assembly bureaucracy. The Association said Fika has through his conduct in attempting to foist illegality in the bureaucracy of the National Assembly has become an embarrassment to the Nigerian Parliamenta and its bureaucracy.

The Association through its Director of Publicity Edward Banigo said the actions of Fika cannot be tolerated by patriotic Nigerians who deserve progress.The association while urging anti corruption agencies to investigate the conduct of Fika said it is imperative that the leadership of the National

Assembly and members irrespective of the chambers they belong or political divide to take drastic actions towards ensuring that Adamu Fika does not go free after bringing the National Assembly and the Commission to undue negative publicity.
APW also faulted Fika's position that Civil Service rules state that a civil servant who has six  months in service should not be appointed into office. APW posited that Efeturi in assuming the office of Clerk to the National Assembly by promotion and not by appointment as insinuated by Fika.

" Trying to politicise the whole process as Fika is wont to is not good for the Commission. Fika fails to understand that it is a case of promotion to another level rather than appointment. Efeturi has risen to the position he has risen today out of hard work and dedication to duty and should not be deprived an office he should ordinarily have walked into without this undue resort to politicking.

The group recalls the fact that this same Adamu Fika was removed for incompetency during the Abacha administration's constituent conference and wonders why he has began displaying the same conduct that led to his dismissal as CNA then. "We recall that Adamu Fika who was a former CNA was removed due to incompetence. Though we expressed reservations when he was appointed as Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission by Goodluck Jonathan, it is regrettable that he has failed to shed his ugly side. Fika has to be told in clear terms that he must resign now from office since he has decided to toe the path of infamy"
