LOPSIDED APPOINTMENTS: APC govs put compliant in writing to Buhari

Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have registered their displeasure over the lopsided appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari, by writing him officially.

The governors are particularly peeved with the list of 46 non career nominees for the position of ambassadors the President sent to the Senate for confirmation.

It would be recalled that the APC governors had at a meeting with the President last week, expressed their displeasure over the nominations he sent to the Senate.

Confirming the development after a closed door meeting with President Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Monday, Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, said that the President has received the letter and was attending to it.

He said: “it is the prerogative of Mr. President to do appointments, but where there is need, we always give support. We have written where we have reservations, and it is being attended to.”
