"Every public office . . . is sacred." CAO
Words cast in marble. How much I wished every politician - everywhere, everyday, every level - realizes this truism! Thanks, Chidi.

Ashafa Abdullahi,
If your morality postulation is adopted as basis for occupying public offices, nobody would ever occupy any public office. Every public office by the way, is sacred.
Everybody that have been accused of something has been "morally wounded". The issue of morality is however, largely subjective.
Accusations must be subjected to investigations and prosecutions, using the established procedures and if guilt is established, punishments are meted out, only then can we say that the persons concerned are not fit to occupy public offices.
President Buhari, for example, has been accused of more grievous offences, yet he is still performing the functions of government, which includes prosecuting alleged offenders. Is he not "morally wounded" by such accusations? Is the office of the Chief Justice more sacred than the office of the President?
CAO.
