Buhari’s Critics over Dead Men’s Appointment are Lilliputians – Sagay
Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) chairman, Prof. Itse Sagay, SAN yesterday slammed those criticising President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for naming dead men among board appointees.
He described the critics as Lilliputians, saying they were idle minds complaining over nothing.
Sagay said the outrage amounts to making a mountain out of a molehill.
To him, the Presidency could not be genuinely faulted in the circumstance.
The professor of law said he was even angry with the Presidency for appearing to be apologetic over the development.
Sagay told our correspondent: “What I find irritating is the so-called outrage by the Nigerian elite that in a list of almost 3,000 people nominated for various agencies, five or six had died.”
“And there is a general pretence by the Nigerian elite that it was of huge, monumental importance; that it shows incompetence and all that.”
“I ask myself: a list that has been under compilation for over two years, revised and re-revised, do they expect that about 3,000 people would all still be alive after two years?
“If not, do they expect the Presidency to go knocking from door to door 24 hours before the announcement to ask who was dead or alive, or to ask if they would survive until the announcement? Are they supposed to have done that?
“So, the whole thing (criticisms) is extremely unreasonable.”
