We Were Not Involved In The Appointment Of Dead Board Members – APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has distanced itself from President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of eight dead Nigerians as board members of federal agencies.
The APC national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun expressed the dissociation today, Monday, while addressing newsmen in Abuja.
Oyegun said the ruling APC was not part of the final compilation of the list of appointees.
He said: “The list has caused enough controversy, it is pretty obvious that that the party was not involved in the final completion of the list,” Oyegun said.
“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 rake place,” he declared.
