What was supposed to be a spontaneous commendation and celebration for the long awaited appointment into the Federal Government agencies has turned to condemnation.
The following three people are already dead as at the time of their appointment by the Federal Government. How this lapses came about is what is yet to be understood.
Chief Donald Ugbaja who was appointed member of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC), died on the 29th of November, 2017.

Reverend Christopher Utov who was appointed member of the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research, died in March of 2017.
But that didn’t stop Utov—once the proprietor of Fidei Polytechnic—from getting a job in the president’s bureaucracy.
Francis Okpozo, a second republic senator and a former member of the BoT (Board of Trustees) of the APC, was appointed board chairman of the Nigerian Press Council.
The problem is that Okpozo died in Benin City on Boxing Day of 2016 from an illness; with his family even getting a condolence letter from Buhari.

President Buhari condoled the government and people of Delta State following the death of Okpovo who died at 81, on Wednesday, December 28, 2016.
The statement was issued by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

“It can be taken for granted that the Muhammadu Buhari administration is incompetent. But it takes a special kind of incompetence to appoint not one, not two but three dead people into boards and agencies. Never done before in our national historyâ€, wrote Twitter user @I_am_Anomeli.
“Just three dead people on the list so far. We thank God. It could have been 6 or 12. Buhari is really trying. Please let me know if you find any more dead people so we can report those names to the nearest mortuaryâ€, wrote @DoubleEph.
“How do you appoint people and not check whether they are alive, well and capable of executing the functions of the office to which they are being appointed? Let’s not even talk about checking whether they share core ideologies and abiding principles. Check that they are alive!!!â€, added @I_am_Anomeli.

Another twitter user with the handle @marmekus wrote: “Maybe this list was sent to him long time ago but in his usual nature; he delayed to act. Worse, nothing was done to crosscheck the list again before releasing it to the public. This is a new level of low in governance in Nigeriaâ€.

Ladies and gentlemen, change according to Muhammadu Buhari”.
