The statement said: “Nigerians and indeed, the management of the FCC will agree that before the presidential elections of 2023, even the lowest cadre of staff of the FCC, the leadership of the National Assembly, and the various committees were adequately aware of the avid stand, body language and sincere campaigns embarked upon by Dr. Muheeba Dankaka, who did not hide her genuine efforts.
“She showed her dexterity as a great mobilizer and avid supporter of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s candidacy which, according to our investigation did not go down well with a select few from the Labour Party (LP) principally dominated by individuals from the Southeast geopolitical zone.
“It will also be recalled that these elements embarked on a campaign of calumny and war of attrition against our very own, by going to the market square to dance naked and went as far as using all sorts of blackmail tactics, media bully, and ambush tactics aimed at unseating her from her official seat.”NYSC Portal
