Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Presidency on Saturday insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari’ s appointments are not lopsided in favour of the North as suggested by a recent media report.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina , stated this in a statement made available to journalists . The media report had claimed that 81 of Buhari’ s appointments are from the North . But Adesina described the report as a mischievous attempt to mislead the public and portray the Buhari administration in bad light.

He said the writer unilaterally selected 100 appointees to drive home the distraction presented as “facts ”. “To claim , suggest or attempt to insinuate that the President’ s appointments are tilted in favour of a section of the country is simply untrue and certainly uncharitable, ” Adesina said .

The presidential spokesman insisted that it is false for anyone to say that Buhari’ s appointments are lopsided. He added , “From all records , majority of the President’ s appointees across different portfolios are not from the North , as the publication erroneously alleged.
“If the publication did not have ulterior motives , a simple enquiry from official sources in the Presidency would have prevented this unwarranted public disinformation .

“It must be stated clearly that , despite the distractions and biased reportage of this article, President Muhammadu Buhari remains committed to serving all Nigerians, no matter the tribe , ethnicity or region, and he is also determined to ensure that Nigeria remains strong and united .
“He has , and will continue to keep faith with one Nigeria and has shown this with the administration ’s diverse projects in different parts of the country ’ s geopolitical zones .

Adesina worry-less about the detractors grunting, you can't take that from pig!

They should release their own official presidency list to counter the ones being circulated

Perception is very key in politics

What is this one saying?

If Buhari does not know his right from his left, why would anyone expect the dullard to know the meaning of the word 'lopsided'.

They're just sided loppily

Femi of yesterdays!? How art the mighty fallen!

Sounds rich from a guy that picks fight with teenagers

As if it is the dullard that is making the statement himself ,tomorrow another zombified aide will come and tell us that buhari is not aware of the statement. Buhari is not aware of virtually everything that happens in his government.

What Is This Man Even Saying, Everybody Knows That If The Ineffectual, Clueless Man Is To Make A 1000 Appointments 990 Will Be For The North.
So Mr. Adesina Just Save Ur Breath For More Important Things

The true fact can be unravelled after seeing the full list of appointments made by this administration.

But base on public perspection north has most of the juicy appointments just as the case was during jonathan administration.

They tend to make appointments based on people close to them that help in bringing the government to power.

But to my opinion the northern appointees most of whom are performing below average should have been better off relieved of their post.

Mr. Adesina, I am a Buhari supporter, but it is clear his appointments are loopsided in favor of northerners. That is undisputed.

[/b]“It must be stated clearly that , despite the distractions and biased reportage of this article, President Muhammadu Buhari remains committed to serving all Nigerians, no matter the tribe , ethnicity or region, and he is also determined to ensure that Nigeria remains strong and united."[b]
Something that is obvious? What about his 97% and 5% statement in principle and practice? Buhari simply belongs to the north.Adeshina must just say what his paymasters want to hear but should remember this government have a day with posterity.Indeed there are "Aso Rock Demons"
