Tinubu’s Inauguration Commiitte Is Not …… – Onoh Makes Big Revelation

Josef Onoh

Following the outcry over the alleged skewed composition of the President-elect’s presidential inauguration committee, Bola Tinubu’s spokesman in the South East, Dr. Josef Onoh, has stated that the committee was not a substantive appointment by the President-elect.

In a statement released to the media, Onoh stated that it was pointless for a section of Nigerians to raise the unnecessary alarm.

He insisted that the inauguration list was not a list of appointments, but rather a continuation of the administrative structure of the outgoing government while attempting to inaugurate a new one.

Observers in the South East were said to be upset because the 14-member inauguration committee lacked any members from the geopolitical zone.

Onoh, on the other hand, stated that the President-elect had no role in the inauguration of the incoming government and had not isolated anyone from the south east or any other part of the country, noting that Tinubu remains the Nigerian president-elect for all in a united Nigeria.

He stated that despite agitations from different quarters, Tinubu would be a president for all Nigerians where nobody would be excluded from the affairs of the country in his government.

According to Onoh, “The inauguration committee is not an appointment; the members do not represent substantive appointment, but a mere selection to pilot a transition period.

“The committee does not determine the outlook of any government.

“One thing people should understand is that Muhammadu Buhari is still the President of Nigeria and we cannot have two presidents at a time and the outgoing administration is the one responsible for the inauguration of the incoming government.

“The Buhari government has the right to appropriate and designate responsibilities as it pleases and these responsibilities do not represent a bias or aimed at isolating any particular segment of the country.

“It is therefore wrong for people to politicize the composition of a mere transition council.

“The composition is not aimed at the isolation of any particular ethnic nationality, it’s not an appointment.”

He maintained that the incoming Asiwaju-led government can only be judged when it has been sworn-in and not by actions prior to the formation of the government.

Onoh further stressed that the bulk of a transition committee rests squarely on the incumbent administration other than the yet to be inaugurated one.

“There is no point politicizing the inauguration committee which is being done in bad faith just to create a political divide,” Onoh said.
