Hours after it made public, the total appointments made by President Bola Tinubu by regions across the country, the presidency has deleted the list.
Recall that on Wednesday, Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication had post a list of appointments made by President Tinubu.
In the post made on X, Dare sought to debunk the claims by the lawmaker representing Borno North, Ali Ndume who alleged that President Tinubu’s appointments since assuming office was lopsided.
Ndume also claimed that the president’s appointment of his allies and people from the Southwest region contravenes the principles of the Federal Character.
However, responding to Ndume, the presidential aide said that Tinubu had appointed 71 people from the North out of 134 appointments made so far.
A breakdown of the list shared by Dare showed that Tinubu appointed 29 people from the South West (his region), 35 from the North West, 22 from the South-South, 16 from the South East, 25 from North Central and 24 from the North East.
Recanting from his initial post, Dare said an error was made in the list made available to the public by the presidency.
He wrote on X, “We have noticed a number of errors in the list of appointments tweeted. We are sorry. We will provide at an updated list later. Thank you.”
This statement made Dare comes after several X users pointed under his reply section that names like that of Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President and Kemi Nandap, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service among others.
