We Had No Input In Buhari's Board Appointments- Oyegun

 The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has distanced itself from the controversies that trailed the recent announcement of board appointments, among who were some dead Nigerians.


Specifically, the APC said it was not part of the final stage of the compilation of the list, saying while the party partook in the initial stages, it was not however privy to the final outcome.

National Chairman of the party, Chief. John Odigie-Oyegun disclosed this Saturday in Abuja during a dinner with journalists in his private residence.

“We have followed the issue of board appointments and I think that issue has raised a lot of controversies already. The only thing I want to add is that it is pretty obvious that the party was not involved in the final stages of the compilation of that list. Yes, we sent at the initial stage and I am talking of a period of two years ago. We demanded for every state to make 50 nominations which were sent to the committee in charge of the list for the purpose. They completed the initial exercise that time but since then a lot has happened. People have changed parties, people have died, we have three new governors that were not there when the list was compiled…Therefore, it was clear that there was obvious need for us to look at the final outcome of the exercise.
