Ex-Nipost Boss Resists Image Tarnishing

The immediate past Post master General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), Dr. Ismail Adebayo Adewusi, has dismissed claims that his removal from office was due to fraud, vowing to resist what he termed misinformation and damage to his reputation.
Adewusi said this recently in a statement made available to The Tide source in Port Harcourt.
“My attention has been drawn to an ugly and sinister piece of publication on account of my replacement as the Postmaster General, a position I held since December 2019 until the announcement of my suspension and subsequent replacement.
“The appointment or replacement of a public official, if all due processes have been adhered to, should ordinarily not be a surprise”, it said.
The statement said the ex-Nipost boss was compelled to make the statement on the ground that some desperate attempts are being made to link his  hard-earned reputation over the years in excellent and patriotic services to the country, to some unidentified and unsubstantiated fraud.
“It is my decision to vehemently resist any strand of misinformation or damage to my reputation, all in an ungodly bid to seek justifications, where there is none, for some unwholesome actions.
“It should be the responsibility of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy to explain the reasons for the replacement and not for anyone, either in the media or other channels, to help him with insinuations to justify the replacement.
“When it comes to allegation of fraud, however, there are relevant agencies of government saddled with investigating and establishing such allegation. I make bold to say that I have conducted myself above board.”, the statement added.
