Presidency explains errors on list of board appointments<\/p>\n
Dec 30, 2017: Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES by telephone, Garba Shehu said \u201cthe list has a history\u201d which explains the controversy around it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2015, Mr. President requested all state chapters of the party to submit names of 50 party members for board appointments,\u201d Mr. Shehu said.<\/p>\n
He 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, 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\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr Shehu however said action was delayed on the report of the committee headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as President Muhammadu Buhari took ill.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president\u2019s trips for medical attention slowed down completion of the process,\u201d he said, until when Mr Buhari decided to revisit the matter recently.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current SGF was only directed to complete that process by releasing the list which he apparently did without altering it,\u201d Mr. Shehu explained.<\/p>\n
Mr Shehu admitted that errors were committed but added that \u201cno human undertaking can be free of mistakes\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said the errors identified with the list were not enough to describe the exercise as scandalous, insisting that \u201cthere is no scandal\u201d.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson said all errors in the list would be corrected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
