Reps to probe appointments made under Buhari

The House of Representatives is set to probe the appointments made under the former president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Retd.).

The Reps in its bid to probe has asked the Federal Character Commission to submit a report of appointments in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies between 2015 and 2023.

The Green chamber passed the resolution during the plenary session following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Paul Nnamchi, a Labour Party lawmaker from Enugu.

During his tenure as president, Buhari was accused by critics of alleged lopsidedness in the appointment of people to head government offices negating the principle of federal character.

While moving the motion, the lawmaker said the essence of the federal character principle was to promote national cohesion and equal opportunities.
