It not easy to rule this country even your master GEJ said you can't fix Nigeria in four years , that's why buhari will be elected back in 2019 to *Change* *the* *change*.
It is not easy to run this country yet PMB decided to become president. If he knew that it is not easy why rule in the first place? It is easy to criticize from outside but when you get in,you see a different thing entirely. The expectations were high but now it has diminish because the trust is no more there.

To me buhari doesn't need criticism , his positives are out there for everyone to see , from PHCN stable electricity to increase in foreign reserves and the TSA account and we being out of recession by the NBS.

During Gej first term his positives was looting spreee.

How will you tell me that list was prepared two years ago.
Hemen Hembe was a House of Representing member in Benue till may 2017 when he was sacked by the Supreme Court.
Daniel Onjeh was a senatorial aspirant for APC zone C in Benue state in 2015 general election and 2016 rerun election.
Dr. Eyanta Ifene was an ambassadorial nominee in early 2017.
How did all this people make that list if it was prepared in 2015?..lie lie people

What this flunky, ambulance-chasing political hireling cum jobber is telling Nigerians is that it took the presidency over two years to appoint board members. Not only that but nobody in the presidency thought it to call the appointees by phone to gauge their acceptance/readiness for the job?

APC never disappoints with scale topping stupid utterances. Seems whenever they open their mouths they bite themselves in the arse.

That is a confirmation that this government is coconut head. Imagine yourself preparing for an exam for two years and still end up failing, what do you think your family and friends will think of you?
And you think this is the first time it has happened in Nigeria? In this case the list had been compiled before PMB went for treatment abroad this year. Between then and now, anything could have happened. He cannot possibly send the list back to the office of chief of staff who will also send the list back to the source, just to confirm who is living and who is alive. If you have had any official dealings with any Federal government MDAs you will understand how minutes on official letters work. It just can't be submitted and withdrawn just anyhow.

My brother stop lying. PHCN is not stable in fact many areas are still in darkness. We are out of recession on paper but not in real life. Buhari needs criticism to stand firm after fall he did the same during GEJ's era. The looting in this regime is one the high side to a point that dead people receive salaries.

Sagay, Sagay...senility and dementia have clearly descended upon you! It is so sad that a highly revered legal juggernaut has reduced himself to such a pitiful level. Even ACF is alarmed at the lack of due diligence that should have been a matter of course but here you are... an awful shame really.


you recall when pmb was ill for an extended period of time & some sane Nigerians pointed out that pmb's prolonged absence was bound to affect the running of government negatively even if the VP is made acting president?

Sagay & his fellow dunce, especially those on NL said the ag.VP can take ALL decisions & there was no vacuum in the administration & everything that needs to be done is been done...


today, the lying maggots have said the list was not released 2 years ago because pmb was ill... yet they claimed pmb being ill did not affect governance...


you see how pmb's Brain dead followers contradict & delude themselves...

All these old men sha! And why does he keep saying 3,000 instead of the 209 on the list.

Even if it is 3,000, how many civil servants work in the Presidency - 500? 600?

So these people could not make calls to notify the members that the announcements were going to be made? We are not asking Buhari or Osinbajo to make the calls na!

How do you appoint people to a board, and they are not even made aware of it? What is wrong with this country? And Sagay is supposed to be educated?

And he said that he was disappointed that the government apologised. Imagine if the government was a company headed by Buhari, with Sagay as an executive - would he advise the company not to issue an apology to his customers/clients after such display of incompetence?

It completely shows the disrespect for citizens by public officials in this country.

This is total nonsense!

Ebullience:
Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) chairman Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) yesterday slammed those criticising President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for naming dead men among board appointees.

He described the critics as Lilliputians, saying they were idle minds complaining over nothing.

Sagay said the outrage amounts to making a mountain out of a molehill.

To him, the Presidency could not be genuinely faulted in the circumstance.


The professor of law said he was even angry with the Presidency for appearing to be apologetic over the development.

Sagay told our correspondent: “What I find irritating is the so-called outrage by the Nigerian elite that in a list of almost 3,000 people nominated for various agencies, five or six had died.

“And there is a general pretence by the Nigerian elite that it was of huge, monumental importance; that it shows incompetence and all that.

“I ask myself: a list that has been under compilation for over two years, revised and re-revised, do they expect that about 3,000 people would all still be alive after two years?

“If not, do they expect the Presidency to go knocking from door to door 24 hours before the announcement to ask who was dead or alive, or to ask if they would survive until the announcement? Are they supposed to have done that?

“So, the whole thing (criticisms) is extremely unreasonable.”


Sagay said the critics reminded him of Lilliput and Blefuscu, fictional island nations that appear in the first part of the 1726 novel, Gulliver’s Travel,by Jonathan Swift.

“In the book, the nations are inhabited by tiny people who are about one-twelfth the height of ordinary humans. They went to war. What did they go to war for?

“Lilliput believes an egg should be broken from the small end before it is eaten, while Belfuscu believes it should be broken from the big end.

“This gives the impression that the Nigerian elite are filled with Lilliputians, who quarrel over nothing and ignore major issues of importance. And I call this collective stupidity and idleness of the mind,” Sagay said.

Asked if the Presidency should not have verified the list and ensured the appointees were ready, and whether he was absolving the Presidency of blame completely, Sagay said: “I am absolving them of every blame.

“And I am very annoyed with the Presidency for looking apologetic over it. As I said, we’re talking about 3,000 people.

“At what stage should they be checking? Can they verify 3,000 names in 24 hours? Suppose they do it one week before announcement and someone died in-between? Is it their fault too?

“So, since nobody can guarantee life, out of 3,000 within two years, there is nothing unreasonable about that.

“Those vacancies will be filled, and Nigerians should stop quarrelling over nothing and start taking on more important things. They should not behave like idle minds.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), former Education Minister Dr Oby Ezekwesili, the lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, and the President of the Campaign for Democracy (CD), Usman Abdul, are among those who criticised President Buhari and the APC for including names of dead men on the boards’ list.

ACF’s National Publicity Secretary Alhaji Muhammad Biu said: “The recent appointments of persons into various boards of parastatals and agencies of the Federal Government by the Presidency, where names of dead persons appeared on the list as published by the media clearly shows that due diligence was not employed.

“The ACF, therefore, calls for proper screening of persons being considered for appointment into various departments and agencies of government in order to avoid such embarrassing incident.”

Dr. Ezekwesili, in a series of tweets, said she was disappointed by the Presidency.

“Some ‘mistakes’ are simply indefensible. Who is that defending that a significant # (2, 3 or 4? Which? ) of dead people are on an appointment list of the FG .@AsoRock that the President, @MBuhari signed off on? Haba. This is the height of what Feyi calls, “anyhowness.” #Tragic,” she stated.

PDP spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan said the error confirmed the party’s position that the APC “administration is completely confused, disorganised and grossly incompetent”.

“Nigerians can now see why the nation’s economy has been in shambles in the last two years. When we say that this government is completely inept, some Nigerians did not know to which level, but now they do.

“This inability to tidy up a simple issue of list of 209 appointees has completely exposed the extent the APC government is bereft of simple organisational skills to manage a country like Nigeria, which is in dire need of development,” PDP said.

Who be the everyone? Do you mean BMC or Buhari's praise singers. Do you know the high expectations many Nigerians had on this government? Immediately he took over power pile line vandalism ceased because people were watching to see his move. If he had being strict from beginning, by now we wouldn't be talking about electricity. I don't need him so with other Nigerians that had high expectations. They say Jonathan was bad,evil and a weakling yet he was able to manage the economy well. Why didn't we give him a second chance like you are asking for PMB? We need a President that listens and act. Someone that feels the pain of the masses.

Buhari sympathized with the family of one of the dead appointees.
