Since the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29 as the 6th Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the frequency of his major appointments from the north has generated murmurs of unease from citizens.

Political analysts who expressed concerns, lamented that the mantra of change that the All Progressives Congress, APC, was parroting, may not be holistic as President Buhari appears to be “pursuing a northern agenda.”

His appointments so have been: Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mrs Amina Zakari (North), Head of Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, Mordecai Ladan (North), Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris (North), and Chief Security Officer, Abdulrahman Mani(North).

Also appointed, are: The State Chief of Protocol, Lawal Kazaure (North), Aide De Camp, ADC, Lt. Col Mohammed Abubakar (North), Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu (North), Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina (South), Chief of Staff, Col Hamid Ali (North) and the Director of State Security Service, Lawal Daura (North).

Apart from the appointments, recently, Daily Sun reports revealed that the dissolution of the board of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, had triggered intense lobbying to fill the positions of the Group Managing Director, GMD, and those of Executive Directors.

“Some highly placed northerners from the core northern states are already strategizing to fill existing vacancies, while other qualified officers from the N/Central, S/West, S/East and S/South geo-political zones, would be pushed to obscure departments and positions,” Daily Sun had claimed in a report.
