Aides of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo whose appointments have not been renewed since the expiration of the last administration on May 29 are in a fix, PREMIUM TIMES reports.
Appointees of the president, who occupy various positions in the presidency, were expected to leave office at the end of Mr Buhari’s first tenure on May 28, 2019.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that appointment letters issued to all the presidential aides had actually given May 29, 2019, as the termination date of their appointments.
Mr Buhari has not renewed the appointment of any of the aides since taking a fresh oath of office over a month ago.
Without asking them to leave their posts, the president has allowed the coterie of aides to continue serving the government, thereby generating confusion.
The status of the presidential aides has generated controversy with lawyers describing the aides’ staying on as illegal.
