The presidency has reacted to the controversy generated by appointment of 1,468 Nigerians into the boards of agencies and parastatals.
The list generated controversy after names of some dead persons like Sen. Francis Okposo were found among the appointees.
Fani Kayode in reaction to list said Buhari was suffering from dementia.
Reacting, Garba Shehu said the list has a history, insisting there was nothing scandalous about it.
He told Premium Times: “The list has a history which explains the controversy around it.
“In 2015, Mr. President requested all state chapters of the party to summit names of 50 party members for board appointments,” Mr. Shehu said.
“The names where compiled by the national secretariat of the APC and forwarded to the then secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir Lawal.
“However, complaint arose from some governors who felt they were not carried along in the process. To answer this, the president constituted a committee under the vice president to review and reflect the interest of the governors.
“Action was delayed on the report of the committee headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as President Muhammadu Buhari took ill.”
