Following the eyebrow raised by the alleged skewed composition of the presidential inauguration committee of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu’s spokesman in the southeast, Dr Josef Onoh has said that the committee was not a substantive appointment by the President-elect.
In clarifying the hullabaloo that has trailed the list of the inauguration committee members, Onoh said that there was no point in the unnecessary alarm being raised by a section of Nigerians, maintaining that the inauguration list was not a list of the appointments, but rather a continuation of the administrative structure of the incumbent government that is in exit while trying to inaugurate an incoming one.
Observers in the southeast had raised objections that the 14-member inauguration committee was devoid of any member from the geopolitical zone, contending that the committee was a pointer to the sign of Tinubu’s government to come.
But Onoh said that the President-elect has not played any role in the inauguration of the incoming government and has not isolated anybody from the southeast or any other part of the country, noting that Tinubu remains the Nigerian president-elect for everyone in a united Nigeria.
He stated that despite agitations from different quarters, Tibubu would be a president for all Nigerians and nobody would be excluded from the affairs of the country in his government.
