As Nigerians continue to slam the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari, for enlisting dead people in recent appointments, the presidency has come out to clear the air.

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, explained that the list which had three dead Nigerians 'has a history'.

Shehu said that shortly after Buhari came into to office, he requested all state chapters of All Progressive Congress, APC to submit names of 50 party members to be considered for board appointment.

Different state governors reportedly protested when the names from the various party chairmen were forwarded to the president and in his bid to carry every one along, Buhari immediately constituted a committee led by vice president Yemi Osinbajo, to review and reflect the interest of the governors.

However, the report from the committee was not immediately implemented because Buhari took ill and travelled out for treatment.
Shehu said: “The president’s trips for medical attention slowed down completion of the process, 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.”

He maintained that the list was not scandalous in any way and assured that the errors contained in it would be duly corrected.
