Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, his
Kebbi State counterpart, Saidu Dakingari, and the National Chairman
of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, were among
persons who were absent when national honours were on Monday conferred
on 313 Nigerians and friends of the country.
Fayemi, who was to be honoured with the
Commander of the Order of Niger, did not send any representative to the
ceremony where President Goodluck Jonathan announced the placement of
the designer of the national flag, Pa Michael Akinkunmi, on a salary of a
Special Assistant to the President for life.
Going by the Revenue Mobilisation
Allocation and Fiscal Commission scale, the annual salary of a special
assistant to the President is N14.06m.
Odigie-Oyegun and Dakingari however
sent representatives to the ceremony which held at the International
Christian Centre, Abuja.
