A pressure group, Integrity Forum, has accused the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, of abuse of office and manipulation of agencies under him to fight personal political battles.

 

“We have observed an unfortunate pattern of abuse of office by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and his manipulation of Federal Government agencies, especially the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), a federal parastatal under him, to fight his personal political battles in Kwara State,” the group said in a statement in Ilorin by its Coordinator, Abdullateef Babafila.

 

The body said the Minister had been mounting pressure on various Federal Government media houses under him to unfairly profile the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and his administration despite its sterling performance.
