UPDATE
The social media was on fire today, as some recently announced appointees by the Presidency were investigated and revealed to be deceased.
Initially, the number of deceased appointees discovered on President Muhammadu Buhari’s latest appointments included: Donald Ugbaja who was appointed as a member of the Consumer Protection Council, Chris Utov, appointed as a member of the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research, and Senator Okposu, who was appointed as the Chairman of the Press Council, bringing the total number of deceased appointees by the President to three (3).
However, a more thorough investigation on the list of appointees, revealed that Garba Attahiru and Umar Dange, who were appointed to the Boards of Federal Parastatals, are also dead. This takes the number from three (3) to five (5).
This revelation was made known in a tweet by Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation.
The tweet read: “Garba Attahiru and Umar Dange are the latest additions to the list of dead men that Buhari appointed to the Board of Federal Parastatals. This takes the number from 3 to 5. Nigeria has now become a laughing stock and the butt of cruel jokes in the international community.”
