Most Nigerians are concerned by the near absence of Buhari’s formulation of a cabinet. It is pertinent to note that no government can function effectively with skeletal appointments such as what we have so far. Although some have tried to argue that he is taking his time to make sure he gets it right, it may be necessary to remind him that he really does not have much time left.

In our 4-year election cycle, there is really no four year of policy formulation and implementation. The first 2 years for the most part is what a government has. Third year is usually about gearing up for the elections coming up in a year’s time. Need we say more about governance in election year.

This is the reason why it is worrisome that President Buhari’s continued inability to form a complete cabinet may make it impossible to accomplish the numerous promises he and APC made to the Nigerian people.

Be that as it may, it is becoming even more worrisome to Nigerians that the appointments made so far has no semblance of federal character. While perusing an online portal, I came across a post listing some appointments made so far by the President that is heavily skewed Northwards as listed below.

ADC-North
PPS-North
CSO-North
SCOP-North
AG-North
SSA media-North
DPR Director-North
INEC Chairman-North
S.A Media-South
DG of DSS-North

Is this a trend that will continue? Was this what Nigerians voted for? I hope not.

it seems buhari won't run for second time? Is showing bias since has been appointing his cabinet and this may hurt him. Nigeria is yours northerners but I only pity the southerners that was shouting sai baba hoping on you as super man or messiah. I know you will disappoint them . I just pity mr osinbanjo at midst at their midst.

Yes this is what Nigerians voted for. They northerners are trying to reestablish their authority as we had it during the military regime.
They are blindly going to institutionalise powers that obasanjo wittled down in the bid to balance appointments and authority in Nigeria.

Thanks to the South West and Tinubu

another Buhari story? pffft. *picks nose

This is a timely reminder.
Nigeria is a geographical space with over 250 ethnic nationalities.
He needs to get out of his comfort zone until a sense of equity has been established amongst all nationalities.
Only obasanjo has been able to achieve that sense of equity .
