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.” .
