The Presidency has apologized for wrongly listing two living Nigerian icons, Pa Reuben Fasoranti and Dr. Edwin Madunagu, under the Posthumous Honours category during President Bola Tinubu’s Democracy Day speech at the National Assembly to commemorate Democracy day on 12th June.

The president had conferred National honors to dozens of pro-democracy activists and national figures for their roles in Nigeria’s return to democratic governance.

Meanwhile, in a later statement by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the presidency said the listing of and said it was already working to correct it across all State House platforms.

Onanuga who described the error as an oversight assured that updates would be made to assure the correction is reflected.

The statement reads; “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.”
