The Presidency has apologised following an error in the list of honourees announced during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Democracy Day address to a joint session of the National Assembly.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, he acknowledged that two respected figures, Reuben Fasoranti, and Edwin Madunagu, were mistakenly listed among recipients of posthumous awards.
He described the inclusion as an unfortunate oversight and assured Nigerians that the error would be promptly corrected across all official State House digital platforms.
The statement reads:
“During his Democracy Day address at the joint session of the National Assembly earlier today, President Bola Tinubu announced a list of pro-democracy activists and national figures to be honoured for their significant contributions to the restoration of democratic governance in Nigeria.
“Under the Posthumous Award category, the names of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the Afenifere leader, and Dr. Edwin Madunagu were incorrectly included.
“Both distinguished individuals are very much alive and, therefore, should not have appeared in the posthumous category.
“We sincerely regret this oversight. We shall make the necessary corrections across all State House digital platforms.
“We appreciate your understanding.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
