ASHENEWS reports that the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has called on the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest and prosecute Chief Executive Officers of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), known to have abused their offices through corrupt tendencies under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

It was Sir Hubert Henderson, the British economist and Liberal Party politician that said, there is a merit in being unimportant, which he paraphrased in a book under the caption, “The Importance of Being Unimportant.” Sir Henderson expressed the idea that, under the right conditions, it is desirable to be a very small part of something big. One needs not be an expert in English language to understand that Sir Henderson was talking about the goodness or distinction of modesty, particularly with respect to the righteousness of rectitude and the enviable quality of being moderate in behaviour. And precisely that is the quality that I think is missing in the displayed attitude of the now suspended Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank, Chief, Godwin Emefiele.
