Presidency Releases Names of Tinubu’s Appointments to Date [Full List]

The Presidency, through Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, has provided a list of the President’s appointments to date as it tries to defend alleged lopsided appointments.

In the list, South West has 29 appointees of the President as against 24 stated by Dare.

For instance, Femi Gbajabiamila, who is one of the first appointees of the President, appointed as Chief Of Staff on Friday, June 2, 2023, was not mentioned in the list.

The South East has fewer appointments.

Also, it appears that the West Eest, where the President comes from, has the majority of the key appointments into ‘juicy’ positions.
