APC National Chairman: “Many of us are not comfortable with Buhari’s appointments”

The All Progressives Congress, has promised to get involved in the subsequent political appointments of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The party took the position as a result of the widespread criticisms that trailed the President’s recent appointments. APC National Chairman Chief John Oyegun, spoke with Thisday on Saturday, and disclosed that many leaders of the party were uncomfortable with Buhari’s appointments.

He said:

“It is too early and superficial to say the appointments were lopsided; it is too early. We are just a little over two months into the government. The appointments made so far are personal staff members of the president. And it is his prerogative to make the appointments.”

“Even though we were marginally involved in those appointments,the party will henceforth be fully involved in the subsequent appointments; that is where the supremacy of the party will come to bear. Nigerians should exercise a little patience.

“There will be board appointments, ministerial positions and a lot of other positions”

“We are very mindful of the widespread criticisms the president’s recent appointments has generated. While some of our leaders have tried to rationalise them, many of us are not very comfortable with them. And we have agreed to meet with Mr. President early next week (this week) to raise some concerns with him.
“Yes, the president must take some tough decisions right now, but we have a party with huge followers to keep. Many of our members are not happy with unfolding events.”
