Buhari describes appointments made so far as ‘tip of an iceberg’

In view of the hue and cry generated by recent appointments which many described as lopsided, President Muhammadu Buhari has pleaded for calm from Nigerians as he assured he will not marginalize any section of the country in subsequent appointments.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Saturday, the President said the appointments made so far were a “tip of an iceberg”, as more were coming.

The spokesman explained that the appointments made so far were those of security establishments and personal aides of the President, which is not even up to five per cent of those to be made in the long run.

“Our brothers and sisters and fellow countrymen should bear with the new administration as it takes its measured steps towards an effective take off,” he said.

The statement reads further, “These appointments are just beginning. The ones down so far, apart from the security services, are mostly of people acting as unofficial advisers or staff of the President. They are mostly men and women who have been doing things for the president and the positions are being formalized.

“Statistically, the appointments don’t amount to five percent of what is to come.

“There will come ministers, heads of government departments, federal boards and ambassadors.

“At the end of the exercise, no part of the country will be left feeling left out,” Shehu assured.

It is your own ship that will sink!

When was the last time a VP was as influential and respected as Osinbanjo? If NNPC, FIRS, CBN posts are not "juicy" enough for you then just go straight to hell! Nigeria will be better whether you like it or not!

Omo buruku elenu oro, Whatz you problem this sunday? Are you Buhari?!

Abeg, turn your face off my way.

Do you think if Buhari fails, then Nigeria is a success? Your bigotry has blindfolded you.

Whatz your stress?

Sweetlemon:

Waiting to see if my name will be in the next appointment

PMB needs to play to the gallery albeit with credible people, just to avoid wahala cos we just can't afford to have another Iraq right here in Nigeria.

when will all these propaganda stop? Osibanjo wey dey waka around corridors of power like a porter. Did you see how isolated he was during the signing of peace accord between south Sudan warring factions in Ethiopia.

Please stop all these propaganda and put Osibanjo in your prayers. He needs it because Buhari is running a cabal government.

There's no more Appointments, it's finished,

Ambassador or SSA isn't an appointment that draw federal government presence to a region.

did Buhari appoint CBN governor? Was a northerner not a CBN until 2014? GEJ appointed a northerner to head the custom, why didn't he appoint a southerner to head the same custom since north holds the presidency? Sometimes you sycophants are very annoying was a northerner not NNPC boss throughout GEJ's regime? Anyway let him appoints only north, there is no problem. One day his administration will end and another person will come. He will also do the same, but let them not start killing their own people in protest when it happens

The appointments should also reflect Nairaland federal character. The Ameachi's,Fashola's and Tinubu's of Nairaland needs to be carried along or we shall all down tools and cease all support for PMB.

reading their comments here is very annoying. At least some of then like passingshot is being objective on this issue though he can be annoying sometimes, but the resident sycophant like sweetlemon, omenka, obiagelli, etc will always defend the govt even when it's obvious. Even their own party are finding ways to correct this anomaly but the sycophants here will always reason with their anvs

If u were in their shoes, u'll probably do the same cos man must wack. U don't want them to lose their job, do u


My joy though is that sweetlemon has stopped claiming Akwaibom. That was my main issue with her.

She thought claiming Akawaibom for a long time will make her one until a true Akawaibomite busted her n she stopped
