Nigeria twitter space is currently on fire, as users are calling out president Muhammadu Buhari, over his recent list of appointees.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, appointed 209 board chairmen and 1,258 board members.
Among the list of 209 Chairmen was Senator Francis Okpozo who according to the list, will be the Chairman of the Nigerian Press Council. What is however shocking is that Senator Francis Okpozo is dead.
The Second Republic Senator died in Benin City, the Edo State capital after a brief illness on December 26th 2016 at the age of 81years. President Buhari released a statement on December 28th mourning the deceased Senator. The Senator was buried on February 17th this year.
See tweets below :
While Buhari, once mourned Late Senator Okpozo, he still went ahead to appoint him Chairman of Nigerian Press Council.

President Buhari appoints Late Senator Francis Okpozo who died in December 2016 as Chairman Nigeria Press Council. The funniest aspect is that same Buhari sent condolence message to the family in 2016.

Either Buhari didn't vet the suitability of his own appointees or he didn't make the relevant appointments himself. Any way you slice the appointment of deceased persons, President Buhari is grossly incompetent. And this is the least worrisome of this govt's misadventures.
AND Someone Think PDP owns the list... Lol

@ayosogunro The list was prepared by PdP before the last election.
