The Chairman of the Forum, Alhaji Ibrahim Dandakata, who expressed the displeasure of the Forum lamented that the North, which significantly contributed to the enthronement of the Tinubu government, is being left out in the Finance and ICT sectors which are crucial to economic development.

Dandakata spoke in Abuja on Wednesday at a press conference organized by the Forum to register its discontent over the seeming nepotism in some of the President’s appointments.

He added that both the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and the Acting Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Folashodun Shonubi, are from the southwest.

The Group alleged that many of the appointments of Heads of strategic government agencies in Finance and ICT are from the southwest and also of the Lagos axis.

He said, “As you may be aware, Finance and Information Communication Technology (ICT) are crucial to the economic eldorado that the President envisions for Nigeria.

They should enjoy what they both dish to SE

Abiii

Carry on Tinubu.. When Buhari was busy appointing Fulanis your prayer was may Buhari succeed. What is good for the gender is good for the goose. When you see injustice meted at another and you close turn a blind eye, tomorrow the same injustice will come back to hunt you.

I support Tinubu because he is doing a great job at appointing the best people to key positions, regardless of their ethnicity.

Another coup loading?

Buhari did his own they kept quiet. Now they are making noise. This is why you should never set a bad template. It will come to hunt you.

ABAT has done a great job of making sure every region in Nigeria is well represented in his cabinet, and I think it's a fine example of fairness and inclusivity.

I think Asiwaju of Nigeria has done a great job as president of Nigeria and it's commendable that he has appointed Yorubas into key positions.
