Former Anambra state governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju (1999 to 2003) tells
Saturday Punch:
Well, a godfather has many connotations. You could have positive
godfathers and negative ones. The good ones work towards making things
work and succeed but if you have a godfather that is always challenging,
he wants to make appointments, if you have 10 commissioners, he would
want to have three or four. After you have given him two commissioners,
he will say he wants Special Advisers, Special Assistants and he will
even want to choose their portfolios but I said these things are not
done like that and they said it is done like that, that is controversy.
