blueButtocks: For how long will you guys be saying this? Every single time you say it your Buhari shames you even more. This man has picked only Northern people for every sensitive position! Wake up! Watch him do the same again with the ministerial positions. Maybe he puts Bakare in a decent area.... maybe. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Afam4eva:A religious bigot that recently canceled govt's sponsorship of Hajj? A religious bigot who has probably equal number of Muslim and Xtian appointees in his govt so far? Sure the appointments have clearly skewed in favour of North but was Jona termed an ethnic bigot when over 70% of his appointments were skewed in favour of the South? I don't like these latest appointments but let's talk factually and responsibly. 12 Likes |

FreeGlobe:Federal character is for ministerial and other key appointments. Not for SFG, SSA and COS. Besides, there are still tens of appointments to come. The most important appointment till date is the GMD of NNPC and it was given to an Igbo from SS. 3 Likes |

1toRtoiSe1: Some of you just dont understand what it means to be a leader. The fact that our nation has been riddled with under-development and de-development like forever does not mean that, that is all that matters. Apart from having good roads, hospitals et al, we need a leader that will unite the country and not one who makes statements such as 95%-5%. One issue that has thrived for so long is ethnic and religious intolerance and you think that building the second Niger bridge, a seaport or whatever means everything is not well with Nigeria? You sure have a lot to learn. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Obiagelli:Just because of heterogeneous nature of the country. I am an advocate of the right man for the job. But at the same time, appointments have to reflect our multi nationalities to a minimum degree. Something like 65% to 35% at the worst case scenario. Not, 90% to 10%. 1 Like |

fallout87: With ministerial positions, the constitution expressly requires that ministers be appointed from each state in the country so Buhari would not have any option but to appoint ministers from each zone. |

I get ur point op and completely understand ur position. I am a staunch supporter of Buhari and believes in his plans but I have to say, I have been disappointed with the spread of appointments so far. Though it seems the choice of people he has appointed so far appear diserving(cos some had been nxt in line based on seniority), it is obvious the president is naive when it comes to understanding the ethnic landscape of Nigeria. Not that these appointments will affect the lives of people who are of the same ethnic group as the appointees, it provides a sense of belonging to all. I hope he reverses this trend by appointing competent people from other parts of the country else, the present appointees will have to perform magic in order to be accepted in every part of the country. 5 Likes |

During that his interview where he said stuffs about 'regions that voted him would get more favor', I knew that was his real mind speaking out! He only said the other soothing words just to appease people! The question everyone should ask him or her self is - if the president was a southerner and he was making such kind of lopsided appointments, what would the Northerners do! 16 Likes 3 Shares |

Afam4eva: Oga, the Nigeria of today is testament to the fact that the PDP method of governance was faulty, out-dated and was built on wrong notions of democracy. Thus, APC and Buhari presented 'change'. Change from the old ways to new and more efficient ways. Let's be honest, the current government has been quite transparent compared to previous governments we've had. To the matter at hand, yes, I agree that his latest appointments might provoke some doubt about his tolerance/regard for the Southern region, even amongst his most ardent supporters. I will continue to plead for patience as I'm sure he'll achieve a balance in the long run 1 Like |

PassingShot:I just hate defending Jonathan but when some people make it a habit to be misinformed, i have to say something. Do you have any proof whatsoever that 70% of Jonathan's appointees were southerners or that there were more southerners than Northerners in his government. I've seen you guys throw such half baked facts around and it's becoming embarrassing. You have to understand that the North will always win whether an Ijaw, Igbo or Yoruba man is the president. Nigerian structure has just been setting in such a motion that they just always have to win. Do you think they would fold their arms and watch Jonathan appoint 70% of his staff from the South? Do you even think Jonathan has the mind to go through with it? 17 Likes 5 Shares |
Re: Were People Right About Buhari? by courage89(m): 8:51pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
Structure is very important in every thing we do and based on the structure that is been put in place, one can analyze and then conclude what direction the leadership might toil. I am a big supporter of GMB; I'm convinced that he has the discipline, zeal and patriotism to move Nigeria to a greater heights. I believe he possessed the fundamental qualities needed to solve our security, corruption, economic, ethnic and religious challenges. Seeing some of the decisions, structure and sectional appointments that are being made, makes me question my earlier conviction on Buhari's ability to solve the ethnic problems clouding our economic landscape. While I have my reservations, I will give the president the benefit of doubt. He need to succeed, not only for my sake but also for the sake of the poor and future generations. 2 Likes |
