President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday re-appointed Boss Mustapha as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), and Abba Kyari as Chief of Staff (COS) to the President.
Naijaparry learned that the president’s media aide Garba Shehu made this known in a statement in which he said the appointments took effect from May 29, 2019.
This comes barley 24 hours after the Coalition of the United Political Parties (CUPP) said it had filed a suit to challenge the continuous stay in office of some aides of President Muhammadu Buhari without appointments letters for his second term in office.
“We, therefore, warn all the former Presidential aides of President Buhari, from the first term, to stay away from their former offices until and unless they are armed with fresh appointment letters or risk criminal prosecution, and trial for violation of the code of conduct bureau act,” spokesperson for the CUPP, Imo Ugochinyere, had said on Thursday.
He also said, “The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, is still in that office, Senator Ita Enang is still parading as Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly matters, Mr Abba Kyari is still parading as Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Adesina is still appearing on TV programmes and signing press releases as Special Adviser to the President on Media, likewise Mr Garba Shehu.”
