I dont think what Buhari has done is too bad, the appointments he has made so far are very sensitive positions trust me u cant put people you cannot guarantee their 100 percent trust. u must put people u are sure of their allegiance to you and the country. This was the mistake Jonathan made, he wanted people to see him as a good hearted person and he chose any how people to run his government these people undoubtedly destroyed his government. Jonathans government would go down in history as one of the most corrupt government in Nigeria because of those he appointed as his most trusted allies who helped run the Nigerian economy to near bankruptcy. To be objective i think Jonathan was not that bad he was just surrounded with wolves who were only interested in their bellies and i dont think Buhari would like to go down in that manner.

I am NOT Buhari supporter. I've been very critical of him on this site, however I strongly feel that any president who wants to succeed would ensure that close positions like chief of staff are held by people that he has absolute trust in.That is just normal.

This is really a non issue and Buhari has nothing to explain to anybody. Nigerians really need to move on and deal with the more pressing economic and structural issues the nation faces.


People are not rainsing the alarm because of only the appointment of chief of staff. PMB has made over 30 appointments and most are northerners, some sections of the country are being made to feel like there are not part of the Nigerian project and its not fair. Based on what PMB has just said, he may as well continue to appoint his loyalists who are all curiously from the North-west and North-East. I am genuinely surprised as to how PMB has managed his affairs in such a way that the only people he knows are old men from the governments of the 70's and 80's. Plus all his friends are from the far Northern states. He clearly went home to sleep after he was deposed as president and never bothered to interact with anybody. He just kept to himself. I wnt be surprised if our President cannot list the name of 5 past southern Governors in Nigeria. Or the name of GEJ's ministers.

[b]I have stopped commenting on nairaland for almost a year because its like kids have invaded this great site. None the less am on Nairaland every single day.
Buhari is an unrepentant and incurable ethnic bigot - This is a fact. Anyone arguing this is only playing to the gallery. You can not make such ethnic bigotry accusation on Obasanjo or IBB for example - Why always Buhari? Jonathan might be a weak and ineffective leader, but Jonathan was not an ethnic bigot either inspite of what some myopic people might want to paint him.
Those that see nothing wrong with Buhari's Northern supremecist attitude should also not cry when someone from another section of the country takes over in 4 or 8 years time (as must happen). The beauty of this democracy is that the presidency can not reside in one section always.
Buhari's actions and utterances and body language shows that he is only the president of Northern Nigeria, visiting only Northern Nigeria, only interested in issues that concern Northern Nigeria, unless its the Oil from the South that will generate money to take care of Northern Nigeria. That is the evil side of Buhari - I pray it does not destroy this administration of his as it did his military era.
On the good side, this Buhari is very serious about fighting corruption and I love him for that. This is one area Jonathan failed woefuly. If Buhari could bring on board the special courts for corruption to fast track corruption cases and strengthen the Efcc to do their job well I think we shall make real progress in curbing corruption which is a real menace to our societly.[/b]

It is only association of wailing wailers that would not make sense out of what Buhari said. You can only appoint trusted aids who have been with you through thick as personal aids. The president takes responsibly for success or failures of his government, so he is at liberty to chose people he can closely work with. The only other person i feel fits the bill of a dedicated, loyal and trusted person who was not appointed as personal aid is Ogbonnaya Onu, who was with him from ANPP days. I hope he makes up for sidelining him with good position in his cabinet.

GEJ appointed Jega who he never knew from day 1. Why can't pmb do the same especially as it is clear that he doesnt know anybody outside Northern Nigeria? The president is just not concerned where his appointees come from. What truelly matters is how the president chooses to manage his appointees. Okonjo was well managed by OBJ but mis-used by GEJ. my point is, the leader determines how his appointee behave

GOATandYAMtheory:
President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence on his appointments, which many Nigerians have described as “lopsided”.

Buhari in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday said the Constitution allowed him full control over the choice of his closest officials.

The president assured that he was not ignoring some section of his society in his appointments, explaining that those he appointed were some of his most trusted associates.

Responding to the interviewer’s question on the controversy generated by the appointments, Buhari said “This is the nature of Nigerian politics”.

“If they will do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian president, let them look at the Constitution a Nigerian president works with, there are people who will closely work with me that don’t need to be taken to the Senate.

“If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom we came all the way right from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in and I can trust them with any post, will that amount to anything wrong?

“I have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward of such dedication and suffering?

“They did not defect because of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments.

“What is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the federal government) because I have confidence that things will go normal?”

On the abducted Chibok girls missing since April 2014, Buhari said the Boko Haram sect had “have scattered them, and are being guarded at dispersed locations.

“Most of the girls are Christians and were forced to embrace Islam. And the sect’s cruel leaders have married some of the girls, obviously against their wish. Others have been left to practice their religion but their condition could hardly be ascertained.

“Both ground and air security personnel in the Sambisa forest could spot where the girls are, but since the insurgents have also kidnapped housewives and other women, no one could say whether they mixed them or how they dispersed them.”

Thanks, best comment ever

I see a new nigeria where we all see each other as brothers, friends irrespective of religion and cultural differences

I will always say, no matter what, I will always see you(Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, foreigners) as my brother and friend.

I can only distance myself from someone I see as dubious, But I still have the brother love for you.

Morale of the day: never trust a fulani man, they will use and dump you.


I'm dedicating this to Genea, please take heart over the loss of your friend. May God give you the large heart to bear the loss. #love you Genea.
NEVER you ever trust a Fulani man. Where is the likes of Amaechi? Buhari has told him and his likes that he has trust for only his Fulani kins men. He does not burder whether you voted for him or not. Where is Amaechi and the latest mad governor, Oshiomhole who was abusing GEJ? Did these people hear Buhari? Buhari is asking if there is anything wrong appointing people he trusted?
Buhari is asking Nigerians, especially those people outside the north, infact the west included. Buhari is evil. When he was a military head of state, he detained many people outside the north for not less than two years without trails. Buhari even went further using black oil paint to paint all the glass windows,openings and sun rays to avoid any brightness in the cells. Buhari is an extremist, a Fulani, and a retired military man. All these three areas, put together has increased the power of the devil in Buhari. Tufiakwa. How on earth can Buhari ask Nigerians that whether it is an offence to embraces his kins men whom he has every likeness and trust? All of you are expected to go and die whehter you have voted for him or not Buhari's business.

Re: “Appointment Of More Northerners” – Buhari Finally Opens Up by DedeNkem: 12:01pm On Sep 09, 2015
If I were the president and appoints only my childhood friends or my closest associates I trust who happened to be only Igbos, should that be a problem? I guess, Buhari will be the first person to attack me for my provincialism and tribalism.

Buhari is an id*iot for giving that st*upid reason. Does he think every Nigerian is as old and st*upid like him? He's neither the APC president nor his associates' president, he's the President of Nigeria!! He's the President of all Nigerians irrespective of the region, ethnic, religion, social class, literacy level, culture, friends/enemies and political party affiliation!!

For the fact that we're a country of many tribes (more than 500), at least, the three major tribes (Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba) should be well represented in every Nigerian government to encourage unity and fairness.

How could an id*iot who called himself president say he only trust his northern friends? He just confirmed what everyone has been saying that - he practices tribalism. He only wants his northern brothers to be in government which is very evident in his lopsided appointments.

Shame on you Buhari!!

Me too i am pained that Ogbonnaya Onu was not given an appointment yet and i hope he would reward Onu's loyalty. But you should try and understand Buhari, he had been betrayed by lots of people, that was why he left ANPP to form CPC. The most painful was that of his Lawyer Mike Ahamba, he betrayed him a year to the last elections to Join PDP, this is someone that had been with him for many years. It is like your wife sleeping with the "enemy". So you should understand Buhari when he talks of loyalty and dedication.
