Just In: Reasons Why Buhari Keeps Appointing Dead Persons in Public Offices

After appointing 5 dead persons in 2015, Muhammadu Buhari has yet again appointed another dead person as member of FCC in a letter read by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan during plenary on Tuesday which has gotten numerous reactions by Nigerians

President Buhari on Tuesday appoints 38 persons as member of the Federal Character Commission (FCC) including: Muheeda Dankaka as the Chairman, Henry Ogbulogo, Salihu Bello, Obonganwan Ebong, Ibeabuchi Uche, Mohammed Tijjani, Tonye Okio, Silas Macikpah, Abba Monguno and Nsor Atamgba.

Others are Alims Agoda, Tobias Chukwuemeka, Imuetinyan Festus, Sesan Fatoba, Ginika Florence Tor, Hamza Mohammed, Diogu Uche, Lawan Roni and Hadiza Muazu.

Also appointed are Muhammad Na‘iya, Lawal Garba, Abubakar Bunu, Idris Bello, Daniel Kolo, Are Bolaji, Nasir Kwarra, Maj. Gen. Suleiman Said (retd) and Abiodun Akinlade.
Buhari also appointed Olufemi Omosanya, Adeoye Olalekan, Adeniyi Olowofela, Stephen Jings, Wokocha Augustine, Abdullahi Tafida, Armaya’u Abubakar, Jibril Maigari, Sani Garba and Adamu Sidi-Ali.

One among the appointees is a 59years old late Tobias Chukwuemeka Okwuru who hale from Eboyin State. Tobias was born on 26th of March 1961 and before his death was the former Law-maker representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency at House of Representative Eboyin State who later died February 2020.

Remember that President Muhammadu Buhari had in 2015 appointed 5 dead persons in public offices which include: Lt. Niyi Odebode, Lt. John Alechenu, Lt.Olusola Fabiyi, Lt. Olaleye Aluka and Lt. Ade Adesomoju

While briefing members of the public, the Presidential Media Aid said those appointed due to their good works, were nominated and before the list could scale through the approval processes, it is unfortunate that one of them is dead

Nigerians through various media channels are expressing their sadness towards this issue. While some are saying it is proof of incompetency of the Buhari led administration who acts base on instructions from his cabals not what he thinks is right in other to syphon public fund , others are sarcastically saying Mr. President is not always aware of virtually everything that happens around him and has shown non verification of serious issues by Nigerian Leaders.
