The Presidency on Saturday released the full list of the appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari since he resumed office.
The release of the list is to prove that the publication by Business Day that 81 of 100 appointments by Buhari were northerners was wrong.
Although the Presidency, in a statement earlier released had faulted the publication, it went ahead to publish the full list of the appointments in table form.
The list was made available to The Next Edition in a statement issued by Mr. Femi Adesina, the president’s spokesman.
On the list, Ogun State records the highest number with 21 appointments while Imo and Kano came second with 15 appointments each.
Edo and Katsina have 14 appointments recorded against them.
Kaduna has 12 appointments; Adamawa and Bauchi states have 11 appointments each while Borno and Lagos have 10 each.
With nine appointments each are Benue, Delta, Niger and Osun states; Gombe and Jigawa have eight each; Rivers has seven, Bayelsa and Ondo have six each and Cross River, Nasarrawa, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe have five appointments each.
Four appointments each went to Enugu, Ekiti, Akwa Ibom, Oyo, Sokoto and Zamfara; Kebbi has threen and Ebonyi and Abia states have two appointments each against their names.
