The national chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, John Oyegun, has said the party should not be blamed for the controversy that trailed President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent board appointments as it was not fully involved in the process.

The chairman, while speaking with journalists on Saturday in Abuja, said the appointments had caused enough controversy.

The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, recently announced the appointment of 209 board chairpersons and 1,258 board members.

In the appointments, PREMIUM TIMES reported how names of deceased persons were included, others duplicated and a few non-members of the ruling APC included.

The presidency has since owned up to the anomalies in the list, saying the errors would be corrected.
Also, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other Nigerians described the appointments as an unpardonable national embarrassment and avoidable.

Mr. Oyegun said the party was involved in the early stage of the process but was not consulted at the end, ”otherwise some of the fully obvious problems in that list wouldn’t have been there.”

He urged the presidency to consult it in any future amendments to the list so as to avoid other anomalies.

“The list has caused enough controversy. It is pretty obvious that that the party was not involved in the final completion of the list.

“We demanded that that every state send nominees’ names to the committee set up for that but between then and now a lot has happened. People have changed parties, people have died, three governors who were not there before are now with us.

“It is my hope that we will be fully involved in review that has to now take place,” he said.
He also spoke on the delay in the holding of convention by the party which has been criticised by many.

“We are going to have our convention. We will kickstart with the caucus and NEC. This will be done at the end of the month give or take then we will go through the processes of congresses,” he said.
The chairman equally spoke on some strides made by the APC-led government.

“Power will continue to improve not just in its generation but in distribution. The Buhari’s administration has stabilised the situation, it has firmed up the capacity to distribute. We are firmly in the process of feeding ourselves,” he added.

Dem don de deny buhari small small

Sarrki, madridguy, omenkalives, usba, manirbk, python1, liondeleo com n see.

Ur Apc is goin ipob

All cabals will abandon Buhari this year, that's for sure.

At least let him remember Father mbaka told him so

It is pathetically appalling,unequivocally unequal, unfortunately unfortunate and lackadaisically embarrassing to note that Nigeria and Nigerians are being led by chequered gerontocrats and political ediabalis with concocted manifesto and visionless visions.

It is a shame we voted this brain dead pebbles to rule us. It is a national disaster.

At this rate Na Daura sure for the dullard pass ..Every Nigerians owes it to his or herself to make sure the senile vile devil is sent back Daura #BACK2DAURA

I blame GEJ

Any person that voted for this failure is a failure himself

Buhari & Jonathan are two perfect examples of incompetent leadership! No difference.

There's no distance between PMB and APC in anything......least they deny it wasn't their fault come 2019

A house that is divided will fall apart quickly.

2019 is not too far off again....

And the blame game have gone intraparty now.Imagine APC leadership that asked state chairmen to forward people names for appointment putting the blame on Buhari.
Anyway another name for APC is denying,blaming or cancelling.Bunch of cluessless people in government.

Hmmmm

Useless party of rogues and fraudsters.

even APC is distancing herself from Buhari, at this rate buhari may not even win the primary I.e. if he decides to disgrace himself and his family by contesting.
hopefully someone better than atiku and buhari will arise, as we will be back to this same spot in the next four years if either atiku or buhari wins. Nigerian deserve more than these two old cargo

Mtheeww

..lol i still believe it was not done in good faith.

just to rush in and deceived Nigeria because of the nepotism discuss and election at hand.

Lemme help U guys.. In d voice of imbeciles( aka zombies/goats)
"Its d work of saboteurs loyal to GEJ who are being manipulated by d cabals who are bent on tarnishing d image of d govt"..
Easy

Even d ruling Party do not want to b associated with d confused, dumb, hopeless and evil govt

Even APC is distancing themselves from the failure in Aso rock.

Chai! Everyone is jumping ship! The situation is critical!

Oh dear Lord! So bloody what if the party was supposedly not involved? What party produced the incompetent louts that occupy the highest offices of the land and their appointees? So u mean that constituted offices and institutions cannot get anything done right and so the 'Office of the APC Party' must also be constituted as part of governance?

Call out the idiots by name and stop being a fool! Where is that stupid Sagay that was defending nonsense?

A major way to rejuvenate APC is to deny the man a return ticket in 2019. Distancing self from the appointment fiasco isn't enough

Incompetence at its Peak

If failure was a trophy, I think Bubu's medal would have be greater than 3rd mainland bride

The drama continues!!
