THE Advanced People’s Democratic Alliance (APDA), on Sunday, tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to be diligent and thorough in the process of appointing people to political offices in 2018 to avoid the embarrassment being witnessed by his administration over the appointment of nine dead people into the board of federal parastatals and agencies.
The party also warned the Presidency not to take Nigerians for granted but be dedicated to doing what is right at all times in the discharge of its duties to the nation.
This was contained in a statement issued and signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Tosin Adeyanju, a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune [winner of the editorial writing award] in Abuja.
APDA frowned at a situation whereby sensitive issues that bother on board appointments would be treated in such a shabby manner with officers responsible apportioning blames and not taking responsibility for this national embarrassment.
It decried the explanation of some aides of the President Buhari that the board appointments were compiled since 2015, making it difficult to identify the dead amongst them.
The party then cited the inclusion of the name of a recently sacked House of Representatives member that lost his seat in 2017 as a result of Supreme Court ruling as Chairman of one of the boards.
APDA noted that the list would otherwise have accommodated qualified living Nigerians.
It, therefore, called on President Buhari to sanction the officials responsible for this national embarrassment to avoid future avoidable mistakes.
