Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a deceased person into the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Igbere TV reports.

The president had in a letter sent to the Ahmad Lawan led Senate on Tuesday, sought confirmation for 38 persons he appointed into the Commission.

Igbere TV, however, observed that the number 12 man on the list of appointees, Mr. Tobias Chukwuemeka, representing Ebonyi state, is late.

Chukwuemeka, a former federal lawmaker, represented the Ezza South/Ikwo Federal Constituency at the 7th House of Representatives.

The deceased, who was the pioneer majority leader of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, died February 28 of ‘over-weight’ related sickness. He was aged 59.

Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi had expressed sadness over the demise of Chukwuemeka, describing it as a “hard pill to swallow” and “a huge loss.”

This is not the first time Buhari is appointing dead persons into government agencies. He did so in 2017 with critics describing it as a sign of incompetence on his part.

[s]Shows Buhari don't appoint based on who you know policy generally applied in Nigeria, otherwise someone who knows him in the government should have brought up the issue of death.

I think this government can at least say that despite all their obvious shortcomings they gave chance to some Average Nigerians to serve their nation[/s].

RZArecta:
total bunkum with a high dose of okoto meow, I guess you feel government at a National level is the same as a one man business where checks are not necessarily done before appointments/employment. Who did this rubbish to you people

HeadShot:
Not surprising at all.Incompetency everywhere.Lifeless government
What few southwesterners still see in this tribalistic and nepotic government remains a wonder
