At least 6, 000 appointments would be made by President Muhammadu Buhari.

In an interview with Sahara TV on Saturday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated that Buhari would be fair to all. He also called for patience reassuring Nigerians that there are more than 6,000 appointments the president is yet to make.

Buhari, who recently sacked the country’s service chiefs that served under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and dissolved the boards of many Federal Government parastatals across the country, has been criticised for not constituting his cabinet and appointing people into various boards of parastatals.

The President is also being pilloried for allegedly favouring the North in the appointment he had made so far. But, “I think President Muhammadu Buhari is sensitive to the diversity of this country. He has more than 6,000 appointments to make. Therefore, why would anybody use less than 10 appointments to judge the President on this matter? Again, it boils down to the lack of patience. This man is an experienced leader. Nigeria stands to gain from the accumulation of wisdom that he has garnered over his long life on earth. He has sworn to an oath that he’s a President of all.

“This government will make as many as 6,000 appointments. And he is bound, even if he doesn’t wish it, by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reflect federal character.”

Did I hear 6000? I thought he wanted to instill some austerity measures in the system?

OK, I'm sure Garba is trying to pacify the East with that balderdash?

Confused fellas

Many semi literates up here!

Just so you know, appointments into boards of parastatals, ministers, DG of MDA, etc usually account for over 5,000 persons.

The Igbos can expect to get up to 300 to 500 from the 6k at the end of the day though.

“This government will make as many as 6,000 appointments. And he is bound, even if he doesn’t wish it, by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reflect federal character.”

I think PMB Spokeperson(s) should learn to choose words carefully, so they don't spend more time defending their statements

But I think its good news,as least some people won't feel cheated anymore ....PMB just want them to just JEGA for a while and stop being ORUBEBE


@simeonii_1

By giving the most important appointments to the north he is already loosing the confidence I had in him

We all knw dat its only abt 100(ministers, DG of parastatals) appointment dat will really have a say, d rest 5900 are just for party compensation and they will just be fixed as board member... Let him announce his SGF and COS...

This huge appointment at a time the economy is struggling and Nigerians are yearning for a reduction in size of governance?
We are watching

fearless president with heavy promises

story.....I thought they said he will reduce the number of appointments, dint forget that the son is one of the 6000 persons

Wailing Wailers over to you.
