A coalition of civil society organizations in Nigeria, Integrated Rights Practitioners (IRP), has passed a vote of confidence on the Chairperson of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Dr. Muheeba Dankaka.

The coalition, in a statement on Thursday by its secretary, Comrade Victor Itsede, urged what it termed the “fifth columnists” to desist from all campaigns of calumny against her person.

The statement read in part: “The antics of some fifth columnists to use the civil society organizations to score political points are being investigated by the committee of civil society and this practice must stop.

“Those who are trying to bring the FCC chairman down should search elsewhere because the CSOs will no longer be available for such sinister motives against a committed public steward like Muheeba Dankaka of the Federal Character Commission.

“We emphatically state that there should be an end to all these wild goose chase of shadow parties and their co-travelers, and their perilous manner of tarnishing the hard-earned reputation of not only the Commission, but that of Dr Muheeba Dankaka.

“We by virtue of this statement, therefore pass a vote of confidence on Dr Dankaka’s sterling leadership of the FCC and kindly advice that she should be allowed to concentrate on her job and not be distracted by any person or authority.”
