The federal government has tendered an apology for the errors in the list of appointments released after accusations of President Bola Tinubu’s alleged unbalanced appointments.
The controversy began after Tinubu was accused by the opposition of favouring Nigerians from his tribe and women over those from other ethnic groups.
APC lawmaker representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, while appearing on Arise Television, alleged that the president violated the federal character principle in his appointments.
However, the omission of Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, from the list seemed to strengthen the critics’ allegation as they said the list clearly showed that the South East is highly underrepresented in his administration while the South-West got most appointments.
Reacting swiftly, the Special Adviser, Media & Public Communication/Spokesperson to the President, Sunday Dare, apologised for the errors on the list.
“We have noticed a number of errors in the list of appointments tweeted. We are sorry. We will provide an updated list later. Thank you,” the post reads.
