NAIJA NEWS
Indications have emerged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may nullify more of the last-minute appointments made by his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari before he left office.
Naija News reports that days before he handed over to Tinubu, Buhari continued to approve appointments even until the morning of May 29, 2023, which was his last day in office.
Sources have disclosed that plans were underway to replace some of the appointees appointed by the previous administration.
A highly placed source told The PUNCH that the move might affect the last-minute appointments by Buhari’s ministers and heads of agencies.
The source said, “Some of the last-minute appointments by some ex-ministers will be nullified. It will be gradual, so I can’t exactly tell you the number of those who will be affected. As you know, some of them were done in a hurry. The appointments are being reviewed. I can confirm that to you.”
Last-minute Appointments
On May 11, the former President approved the appointment of a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Garba Baba-Umar, as a Senior Security Adviser on International Police Cooperation and Counter-terrorism in the Office of the Minister of Police Affairs.
