Listening to many of these buhari folks talk , you would think these daurans had any form of credible track record that warrants their super-imposition on Nigerians at the expense of all-inclusive govt that has been the only reason why Nigeria has not gone off the irreversible deep end yet. Buhari better succeed by any means possible and without fail, because he has just heaped coals of fire on his own head. If he fails with all his obvious bigotry, the national consequences may be dire in 2019. 9 Likes |

ejirede:C'mon, let us not deceive ourselves here. Elections are over. If the VP was not from the SW, the votes for buhari from there would have been halved. Osibanjo had no track record in business or politics, his yorubaness won him a lot of votes from there. |

blueButtocks: I often find this sentiment profoundly silly not because I have much regard for PDP but because of what it reveals about Nigerians' lack of perspective. PDP came into power in 1999, the Nigeria of pre-1999 was an odious calamity. You often find people who either don't remember the Nigeria of those days or were kids/young at the time and had no real knowledge of the actual state of affairs then, basing their analysis on the notion that PDP is the root cause of our problem. They do so because PDP is all they have known in their adult life. Nigeria was messed up before PDP was formed, therefore, what is wrong with Nigeria transcends PDP. This is a 55 year old country which has been dysfunctional from the beginning. You can keep deluding yourself that regurgitating political characters from the past, so long as they are not PDP, is the path to a new beginning but that is the height of self-deception. I predict that we will be dissapointed just as we have been for 55 years. In 8 years time, people who are infants or teens today will proclaim that our problem is mainly attributable to APC. We will never learn. 20 Likes 4 Shares |

Sweetlemon: Olodo, you shouldn't be responding on this board. He asked a very simple question and you went off key. He meant if the SW would have voted for Buhari if he had a northerner as his running mate. Since you are all preaching he is free to handpick all his appointments from his village if he so desires. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Afam4eva:I will look for the document and present to you later. Maybe not 70% but you cannot argue that it was skewed in favour of SS and SE. Besides, did where his appointees came from have any significant effect on his performance? His Otuoke community recently cried out for lack of potable water and other basic amenities? 3 Likes |

PassingShot:Of course, run and go get the document deliberated aimed at supporting the lies that you want to believe. if you want to be true to yourself, get a list of all Jonathan's appointees including ministers, heads of government parastatal and corporations, only then can you get the true story. Dude, Northerners dominated Jonathan's government just like they have dominated past governments and will continue to dominate. The only difference is that in Jonathan's government, there was some semblance of equity but they still had more people in government. Please, don't patronize me with Jonathan's failures. It has been a consensus and i agree that the guy fail, so stop using it to support Buhari's obvious bias. Are you telling me that just because Jonathan failed, then Buhari has the moral right to appoint his people from the North? Are there no credible people from the south to fill these positions? Are all the men of integrity from the North? 13 Likes 4 Shares |

PassingShot:do note that nigeria is made u of 6 geopolitical zones and Dr Ibe happens to be Igbo from southsouth not southeast, olusegun aganga is a youruba from edo state, when Gej appointed him minister of finance (Lagos slot) yorubas of lagos origin complained that he is not from their zone but southsouth but didn't deny his origin being yourba,later Gej appointed Obanikoro as a lagos indigene to replace lagos slot, as much as federal character is still enthrenched in the constitution, appointments should reflect federal character |

Obiagelli:Could it be said that PMB could find incorruptible persons in the South? I am sure the answer is "NO". As I said b4, the president has proved once again that he is his own man with these appointments BUT he needs to be more circumspect in future appointments. |

Afam4eva:what if he appoints 80% Ibos in his cabinet and at the end of the day he prevents them from doing anything meaningful for the SE, how will you feel? I believe you'll still go about rejoicing and dancing cos your brothers are in high positions while your roads remain poor just as you did under GEJ and his ibo administration. 1 Like |

Afam4eva:I am unfortunately not so available to search for the list now but the fact remains that there were more Southerners in GEJ's regime than Northerners. The Southerners were more of SE/SS and a handful of SW. I have not defended Buhari on the latest appointments. In fact, I hate it. However, don't bring the religious coloration into it. That was my main grouse with you. The present composition of his appointees so far and his acts do not support that claim of yours. Besides, there are still many other appointments coming and I sincerely hope that he corrects this anomaly. The president will however not be judged on where his appointees come from but their performance and his. 1 Like |

Rad1cal:VP is not an appointment. Choosing a VP from another ethnic group is a bargaining tool used by political parties. If buhari had decided to chose his VP from one of his blood brothers, if he will win he will win. MKO rode on a muslim-muslim ticket and still won. Buhari can go ahead to chose his cabinet from daura, what matters is performance. Would you prefer your blood brother being a minister and you still unable to feed to a northerner who provides policies that put food on your table? 2 Likes |
