The Presidency has apologised for including the name of the
Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, and Dr. Edwin Madunagu under posthumous
Democracy Day National Honours list.
The Presidency, in a statement signed by the presidential
spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, noted that the two honourees are still alive and
shouldn’t have appeared in the posthumous category.
The statement read: “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.”
