Dele Momodu: Why the APC must reward its heroes with appointments

Aside from working assiduously for the new party, these influential and energetic leaders deserve the best of positions on sheer merit. They are among the brightest stars of APC who must not be compensated with the type of chicanery being witnessed in APC at this moment. Fellow Nigerians, this has been a very interesting week...
