The presidency has reacted to the controversy generated by its appointment, Friday evening, of 1,468 Nigerians into the boards of agencies and parastatals consisting of dead individuals.

The list generated controversy after names of some dead persons were found among the appointees.

The Presidential senior media adviser, Garba Shehu told Premium Times that “the list has a history” which explains the controversy around it.

LIST OF DEAD MEN ON BUHARI LIST OF NEWLY APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS BOARDS

“In 2015, Mr. President requested all state chapters of the party to submit names of 50 party members for board appointments,” Mr. Shehu said.

He said the names where compiled by the national secretariat of the APC and forwarded to the then secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir Lawal.

“However, complaint arose from some governors who felt they were not carried along in the process. To answer this, the president constituted a committee under the vice president to review and reflect the interest of the governors”.


Mr Shehu however said action was delayed on the report of the committee headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as President Muhammadu Buhari took ill.

“The president’s trips for medical attention slowed down completion of the process,” he said, until when Mr Buhari decided to revisit the matter recently.

“The current SGF was only directed to complete that process by releasing the list which he apparently did without altering it,” Mr. Shehu explained.

Mr Shehu admitted that errors were committed but added that “no human undertaking can be free of mistakes”.

He said the errors identified with the list were not enough to describe the exercise as scandalous, insisting that “there is no scandal”.

The spokesperson said all errors in the list would be corrected.http://www.newslinkngr.com/2017/12/presidency-breaks-silence-on-errors-in.html

If there is still a soul who have faith in this abysmal administration, they just lost that soul.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from experience.


This govt. has proven that it does not have the capacity to learn from experience, how can an abysmal administration as this talk about achievement.

Propaganda can win you an election but you can't govern on propaganda and lies. All hail Lai Mohammed.

What did he just say?

Abegi, leave that story. The govt appoint dead men into boards is either a case of clueless incompetence or sheer Frudulence.
Buhari is the most incompetent President Nigeria ever had. He doesn't know his left from his right.
All he does is sign papers brought to him without knowing or understanding its content.
We pray that someone would not bring him document that implies that Nigeria is to be sold out, cos the clueless President Buhari will just sign off the document without even going thru it.
Lot of rubbish and corruption going on the Petroleum sector and the Clueless President who is the Petroleum Minister says he doesn't know. All he does is sign away any document put before him.
I hope he will sign his life away soon.
Yeye President.
I blame Bola Tinubu for imposing this "Bad Luck" of a President on Nigeria.
May God deliver us.

I know they will come up with answers.

The same delay that produced ineffective ministers. Since 2015 and you now remembered it because election is close by
