The presidency has responded to the controversy generated by its appointment of 1,468 Nigerians into the boards of agencies and parastatals. 

The list which generated huge controversy shortly after names of some dead persons were found among the appointees, is said to have created sensation amongst Nigerians.

According to sources, the list show duplications and appointment of individuals that are no longer in the ruling All Progressives Congress.

According to a spokesman of the president, Garba Shehu, the presidency downplayed the matter saying there was nothing scandalous about the list

Garba explained that, the list could be traced to 2015 when president Buhari requested all state chapters of the All Progressive Congress to submit names of 50 party members for board appointments

Meanwhile, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode, in his official twitter handle berated President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing three dead men into the board and agencies.
