basilo101:

Anybody that does not have trusted allies all over the country is not suitable for president

so the appointment of his personal physician, personal security officers, personal assistant must also reflect federal character?


if your point of view is taken in its entirety, it means OBJ, Yar'Adua & GEJ were also guilty of what you accuse PMB of because those positions I mentioned where in 95% of the cases. occupied by thier kinsmen...

lol...

people with your line of reasoning are often blinded by hate & can't reason beyond that hate.


the first part of my primary submission was simple, there are certain positions which the president cannot be faulted if he prefers his kinsman to hold such position, e.g.

personal physician, PA, CSOs, MD, FMC, Katsina... & even DG, SSS...


the other part of my primary submission comes with a caveat, subject to having access to ALL appointments made, the ones presented here indicate lopsided appointments.


now, let me school you a bit...

there are over 6000 political/semi-adminstrative appointments to be made by a sitting president...for purposes of Federal Character, that means each state is ordinarily entitled to about 162 positions...



let's say only 50% of the 6000 appointments have been made. that equates to about 81 positions to be shared.

the op specifically stated 33 positions (the so called 50 board members cannot be verified. so doesn't count).


so, when you break down appointments by federal character, you can see that the ops analysis does not avail 'sane critics' of the full picture of appointments...


the area of lopsided appointments most sane Nigerians worry about is mainly in the security services, now that is where you can direct your argument towards, but mind you, the Federal Character provision does not state the specific positions that must be reflected...


so, be very mindful of who you talk to anyhow, not everyone is a blind slowpoke like you who criticises for criticism sake.

p.s. you know nothing of the intricacies of the federal character provision. read up then come back & talk with sense.

It is unfortunate you have allowed sentiment to becloud your sense of reasoning. Go through the list again, now with unbiased mindset and tell me how many of the positions have to do with security.

look whose talking about sentiments beclouding one's sense of reasoning.


I pointed you in the right direction to do a proper research. the positions I mentioned, research on who occupied those positions under OBJ, Yar'Adua & GEJ before you spew trash.

Op if you become president no appoint anybody from your state @ all

the president cannot be faulted for some of the appointments listed as the sensitivity of such posts leans towards the president appointing people whom he is comfortable with.


that said, subject to a holistic assesment of ALL appointments, it's safe to say PMB's appointments have not only been lopsided, but also populated by a high number of incompetent charlatans

If the President can only relate and trust people from his state, he should contest for the governorship of Katsina state. Any one seeking to be the President of Nigeria should trust and work with Nigerians from all tribes and religions even in most sensitive and lucrative positions.

I don't get it... is it that you guys can't read & understand simple statements?

no wonder that as full as some pmb's supporters are, they still make mincemeat of his critics on NL...
