I do not want to be drawn in on topics such as this. But I shall put aside the self imposed embargo on this occasion. First off, I really do not care about pmb's appointments - who they are nor where they come from. I wish they'd all roll up thier sleeves and get to work. Now, to the issue at hand:- To the simple minded you may have a point. But let's face it. When Nigerians make reference to quota system and federal character what immediately comes to mind are cabinet positions and top security posts. Going by his antecedents, if buhari had his way, all cabinet members would be from the north. But no. He dare not. This is no issue. As for security positions, I'm really indifferent. As he has to work with people he is close to and trusts. So I'll let this slide. Honestly, I'm surprised there are 2 southerners on his security team. But again, I'm indifferent. Let's look at positions just below the ministers. I'm referring to positions like director generals, managing directors, heads of smaller agencies and parastatal. With the exception of the following positions (nddc, nimasa, via) every other position has gone to the north. Without a minister, ministeries and parastatals under such ministeries will still function. However, without DG's and MD's the parastals and agencies will grind to a halt. Question is why have positions on these level gone to the north? Lastly, if buhari had his Way, emefiele would've been removed a long time ago. But we all know the cbn cannot be sacked. |

Divinehenrich: Ibos are the wailers...used to be a relevant ethnic group but no more! The level of hatred and bigotry espoused by some Ibos and supported by almost all Ibos bar none, has done them in. Unfortunately, they have no clue how to break out of their self-destructionism. Ibos sense of entitlement is one of the major reasons they will be humiliated almost forever except they change and remain sober for at least 1000 years! |

Grundig:Just to correct your erroneous belief, the president can remove anyone he desires to remove, with or without approval from any section/body. GEJ removed Justice Ayo Salami and Sanusi illegally and NOTHING happened. So, if PMB actually wanted to remove Emefiele or anybody for whatever reason, he would do it and NOTHING will happen. Let's just say the president is a complete democrat, hence Saraki and Ekweremandu are still behaving like spoilt kids. Hence Fayose can insult him as he likes and still have the audacity to call the president's phone lines. Hence, ND Avengers can act senselessly without any major collateral damages to their region. All the above instances will have been crudely and cruely dealt with if PMB was an OBJ or even as tyrannical as GEJ. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sweetlemon:"I don't know of any developed country that got to where they are because of 'federal character'". Now, can we just do away with federal character(from d constitution) and let all appointments be based on qualifications(incl. Integrity) since that's what PMB is trying to do. But my question is, why was PRESSID Scholarship cancelled?. God Bless Nigeria |

DropShot:My brother, it is worth checking facts before making comments. If you are going to correct me or call me out.on a blunder you better be coming with superior.points. No president of Nigeria cannot hire and fire at will heads of Certain positions such as.that of the Cbn and head court of appeal. The best he can do is to suspend such a.person. and suspension will last a duration of 90days. Sanusis removal was such that the end of his suspension coincided with the end of his tenure which gej refused to renew. Judge salamis was similar I think. I never questioned pmb's democratic credentials (atleast not now) but I question his lopsided appointments.j Lastly, I'm not holding brief for gej or obj. Don't give a rats ass about them. |

Grundig:Ayo Salami was forced out of service. He wad not close to retirement at all and all interventions, including recommendations from the Judicial Council fell on GEJ's deaf ears. My point is, even though we know we have certain laws guiding appointments and removal of heads of some agencies, a Nigerian president determined to kick out some of those heads will do it and NOTHING will happen because our democracy has not fully evolved. 2 Likes |

DropShot:Actually, ago salami was recommended for suspension by his peers. Gej took the bait and never looked back. I agree with your second paragraph. The Nigerian president is probably the most powerful in the world. |

WATCHOVER: If Buhari should make a southern appointment, will it be yours for the taking? stop making cases for politicians who benefit from the so called appointments, they are the reason your destiny is so fvcked up, face your hustle, appointments are not for ordinary Nigerians, let the politicians wail for themselves. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

" I don't know of any developed country that got to where they are because of "federal character". Sweetlemon In your attempt to justify nepotism you've shot yourself in the foot with your closing statement. Just a few points MD of NDDC cannot go to the north, so why include ouit in list? Commander Multi-National Join task force on Bokoharam shouldn't be there if you don't include other coming officers |
