President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed at least four dead persons into board of government agencies and reactions are pouring in on social media. 

While the presidency is yet to react to the development, Nigerians are having a field day with wisecracks, sarcastic comments, and criticism on Twitter.

Here are of their some reactions.

How did President Buhari appoint three dead people as Heads of Agencies and Parastatals? Did the list not go through proper vetting? This is the definition of gross incompetence and anyhowness.

Either Buhari didn't vet the suitability of his own appointees or he didn't make the relevant appointments himself. Any way you slice the appointment of deceased persons, President Buhari is grossly incompetent.

And this is the least worrisome of this govt's misadventures.

Pretty sure President Buhari won’t hear of this blunder, because nobody will tell him. Someone should put it in the cartoon section. https://t.co/bvIOsGvwhx

President Buhari is Muslim, VP Osinbajo is a pastor. Who will pour Schnapps for the dead appointees to come out for their swearing in?

President Buhari appointing four dead people just shows how bad this government is.

Some of them died more than 19 months ago and it just goes to show the speed at which Buhari is operating.
