An aide to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media
matters, Lauretta Onochie, has reacted to reports that President Muhamadu
Buhari appointed a dead person into the board of one the federal government
agencies.
Chief Tobias Chukwuemeka Okwuru is
one of the member-nominees (Ebonyi State) in Buhari’s letter to the Senate
President, Ahmed Lawan.
The President in the letter to the senate on Tuesday,
requested for Okwuru’s confirmation as a board member of the Federal Character
Commission (FCC).
But on Wednesday, NigerianEye reliably reported that the
appointee died on February 27, 2020.
Reacting to the development, Onochie on her Twitter page
said the federal government was not aware that Okwuru was dead.
According to her, he was alive when Buhari appointed him but
died before the Senate screening.
“Hon Tobias Okwuru was very much alive when President
@MBuhari appointed him as the Ebonyi State Member in d Federal Character
Commission
“He came to update his CV, in readiness for the appointment
after the Senate screening.
“When he sadly passed away while waiting for the screening
by the Senate, that information was not communicated to the federal government.
“His remains are not yet buried. May his soul rest in
peace.”
