Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina has called on those criticizing his principal for appointing mostly northerners into his government to first look at how qualified those appointed are for such positions, adding that it is the President’s prerogative to appoint whoever he pleases into his government.

While enjoining those already crying wolf over Buhari’s early appointments to first take cognizance of “the personal merit of each person that has been appointed,” he stressed that: “You cannot run away from the fact that each person appointed merits the position. They are qualified!”

Adesina, who made this known Friday while speaking on RayPower’s flagship programme monitored by DAILY POST in Abuja, said: “But then in terms of the spread, the thing I will also like to say is that the President has the prerogative to make appointments and he knows that there is federal character in our constitution. I’m sure he bears that in mind as he makes the appointments that will come in the future.

“I believe that at the end of it all, there is going to be a balance.

“These are still early days in the appointments he is going to make. At the end of it all, I believe we are going to have a balance,” he stated.

Responding to the need for Buhari to make appointments bearing in mind that Nigerians of northern extraction are already leading the legislature and the judiciary, Adesina said: “Let’s not forget that some of those were by elections, some were statutorily the next person in rank. There is nothing the president can do about that. If it’s by election, what will he do about it? Because he doesn’t control the election; the National Assembly came by election.”

“For the ones he can control, there are still so many ahead,” he said stressing that any position can be key depending on the way the person appointed into the position “applies himself to that position.”

On whether Nigerians can begin to expect ministerial list, the Presidential spokesman assured that Buhari will keep to the September dateline given by him. He added that, “September is just next month and it has 30 days. I believe that within those thirty days, the job will be done.”

I love this Femi Adesina, he will always come out to defend his boss.


In other news, is there any hope for Ameachi and Fashola in this govt?.

Just asking o. lol

Sure of course, we the Change agents do know that everything will balance up at the right time... But most importantly, we need people that will make Nigeria great again and goodbye to ethic, tribal and religious politics that never did any good for this nation for the past years, but only encourage rogues in power...... God bless PMB. God bless Nigeria.

Balance or no balance, he should appoint the right people.

Point of Correction: His lord and master. Adesina and Garba are just like Beavis and Butthead. One is expediently dumb and the other is overtly dumber.

my Love has spoken and so shall it be.

I thank God that Femi Knows that the appointments are not balanced.

modelmike7:

Which work. Misinformation, libel and Propaganda. If so, he should resign and find something more honorable. If not, PMB will mess him up so much so, that Bleach and Ariel will be a hopeless remedy

I think we the southerner are getting what we deserve, why do we always pull down our own , take the case of Fashola, Amechi, Fayemi, Onu etc, this guys are close to buhari and they have a good chance of making its kitchen cabinet, but what did we do, we pull them down because of internal politics, take a look at the north , when it comes to appointments they don't not care about PDP or APC , they support themselves and they don't expose there negative sides, even when we know that they are also very corrupt.

So In summary I think the north are more Politically sensible than the south so lets leave baba alone to chose who he want to work with, once they perform, me am fine, after all we've been hearing about Fashola and Co, it will be difficult for baba to choose any of them if he does, it will be difficult for him to fight corruption and Nigeria we suffer for it.

thank you my sweetheart

I support PMB 100%, but what's wrong is wrong, there are competent people from all over this wonderful country, not just in the north. On the other hand, the average northerner is very loyal to his own (fact), when "our brother " was there he did nothing for his people.

Ok...we are waiting




Nigeria needs balanced diet to live a healthy life

Representative of the slave waste region fighting hard to defend their master.

That is that, period! Anyone not comfortable with this position can go hug a cactus tree in Sahara desert.

People keep saying the appointments are lopsided and compare them to what obtained under Obj and GEJ, without recourse to the time frame under which the previous appointments were made (four years) and the number of appointments that can be made.

They can continue to wail for all we care.

Hope so...cos Mehn they boil here o

Free these guys to keep spitting trash. One thing I love about this amiable General- he is a stoic valiant whose refused to be distracted by all these needless wailings.
