http://scannewsnigeria.com/news/buharis-northernization-policy-shocks-most-nigerians/ Nigerians especially those from the Southern part of the country on Friday, expressed concern over the appointments made so far by President Muhammadu Buhari.

 

They said the appointments were lopsided and not in the best interest of the country.

 

President Buhari is from Katsina State, Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, are from Kwara and Bauchi states respectively. The judiciary is led by Justice Mahmud Mohammed from Taraba State.

 

Of the nine appointments made by Buhari so far, eight are from the North, while one is from the South. The appointments are: Director-General of the State Services, Lawal Daura, Katsina State; Acting Chairman, the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari, Jigawa State; Director, the Department of Petroleum Resources, Mr. Mordecai Danteni Baba Ladan; and the Accountant-General of the Federation, Alhaji Ahmed Idris, Kano State.

 

Others are the State Chief of Protocol, Mallam Lawal Abdullahi Kazaure; Aide De Camp, Lt.-Col. Muhammed Lawal Abubakar, Kano State; Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu; and Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, South-West.

 

The appointments, however, drew the ire of Nigerians who asked Buhari to respect the country’s principle of federal character.

 

Already, the Internet, particularly the social media and blogs, are agog with reactions and counter-reactions on the matter.

 

A commentator named Daamazing, on Nairaland, Nigeria’s largest discussion forum, accused Buhari of appointing only Northerners into key positions announced so far.

 

The enraged citizen said in pidgin, “After all your mumu promises, one thing you’ve not achieved, na to dey appoint all the people for your family tree, dey do tourism up and down. (After all your promises, you’ve not achieved anything. All you have done is to appoint your kinsmen and travel all around the world).”

 

Another commentator identified simply as Augster, said, “Buhari, don’t let those who voted for you down because your appointment of only Northerners into top positions is baffling us.”

 

SenseiX, another Nairaland commentator, said it was wrong for Buhari to have brought Daura, the acting DSS DG, from retirement to head the agency when there were qualified persons from other regions of the country still in service.

 

He said, “He ignored the entire senior cadre of the agency- from Bassey Eteng to the least- simply because they are Southerners. Even if he wanted to pick a a Northerner, he should have picked from the service rather than a 62-year-old retiree, whose only qualification is being Buhari’s kinsman, who was in the DSS. When former President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Ekpenyong, he was already a Director of Operations, same for Gadzama, who was appointed by Umaru Yar’Adua.”

 

As of the time of filing this report, the story- Buhari sacks DG DSS, service chiefs may go- had been read by 30,722 Nigerians on the PUNCH website, some of who expressed anger over the development.

 

A reader named as Ify, said, “In as much as I do not subscribe to ethnic sentiments, I am sensitive to the malaise of ethnic distrust in the country. A wise leader would therefore, thread cautiously around this landmine. We must patiently navigate our way out of ethnic bias.

 

“Let me also point out that Nigeria’s strength is derived from her diversity, therefore, any government that wishes to succeed must draw from our diversity, and not limit itself to the talents from one region alone.”

 

Another reader, Omoyooba, said, “In a multi-ethnic and multi-religious Nigeria, it is insensitive of him to be making appointments made up of Northern Muslims. What of the Christians and the Southerners? President Muhammadu Buhari should know that former President Goodluck Jonathan started with greater goodwill than this in 2011 and he ran it aground in four years. Buhari should not make the same mistake. Nigeria belongs to everybody.”

 

On Facebook, Fidelis Anumole-Oparaku, who was apparently disappointed with the situation, said the President’s ministerial appointments would not be much better.

 

He said, “Because he lacks the power to do so with ministerial appointments, he will likely give key positions to Northern Muslims, then the soft ones will be given to Northern Christians and the South.”

 

Like the online community, prominent groups in the South-West – Afenifere, Yoruba Unity Forum and the Movement for Oodua Republic – said this kind of lopsided appointments had never happened in the political history of the country.

 

While describing the President’s actions as worrisome, the YUF Secretary-General, Senator Anthony Adefuye, warned that the earlier the situation was reversed, the better, adding that the YUF would not expect the North to marginalise the South.

 

He said, “The fact that the President, Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are from the North is worrisome. There is no way the North can take all the principal offices and leave the deputy to us. It has never happened before and the earlier it is reverted, the better.

 

“There is no way that can continue because the South is not subordinate to the North. The think tank committee of the YUF will meet soon to look at the issue and see how it affects the Yoruba people. However, the development is a wrong signal that must be corrected.”

 

While calling on Southerners to be patient and watch events unfold, Adefuye said no region could be a subordinate of the other.

 

“What is more worrisome is that the immediate past INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, handed over to a Southerner but the Presidency changed it to a Northerner. We are watching and waiting to see what comes out of this new government.”

 

Adefuye added, “Southerners are always careful and concerned not to marginalise the North. Therefore, I will not expect the North to marginalise the South now that the Presidency is shifted to the region.”

 

The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, said the group was watching the President’s actions and taking note of them.

 

Odumakin, who spoke with one of our correspondents on Friday, said, “We have taken a position in Afenifere to watch the President’s actions before we begin to make comments. By the time we have a clearer picture of what is happening in the first 100 days of the President in office, we are certainly going to make a comprehensive statement.”

 

Also, the leader of MOR, Mr. George Akinola, said the country was heading towards total conflict should the situation continue.

 

He said, “The country has already been divided along religious lines. The fault lines are there and will always be there. This will continue until a time when one way or the other a conference or a referendum happens. There is no option that is not on the table but at least we will prefer the path of peace.”

 

Representing the interest of the South-Eastern people, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Gary Enwo-Igariwey, asked the President to respect the principle of federal character in his appointments.

 

Enwo-Igariwey said, “We expect the President to recognise other nationalities that make up Nigeria. Elections are over, it is time for governance. We expect that the principle of federal character, which is constitutional, should be respected.

 

“It is important that in making his appointments, the President should recognise that there are six geo-political zones in the country and it is imperative that he carries all of them along in the spirit of nation building and as a statesman.”

 

The Igbo World Union and the Ohanaeze Youth Council described the President’s actions as a threat to the corporate existence of Nigeria.

 

The OYC National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said, “Buhari should not abuse his privileged position as the President of Nigeria for the moment. He should not forget our federal system but reflect the federal character in his appointments.

 

“We are warning him to drop the Northern agenda and govern Nigeria in line with the constitution which he sworn to protect. We will hold him by his statement that ‘he is for nobody and for everybody ‘ except he now wants to tell us that he is the President of the North alone.”

 

According to Isiguzoro, Buhari’s actions demonstrate that he came to power to reverse the positive steps made by Jonathan, who gave consideration to Nigeria’s ethnic plurality in his appointments.

 

“Jonathan appointed Northerners as his National Security Adviser, Defence Minister, Inspector-General of Police, Chief of Defence Staff etc. But so far, Buhari has shown us that he has no regard for other parts of the country.”

 

In his reaction, the President-General of Igbo World Union, Dr. Mishak Nnanta, asked the President not to succumb to any ill- advice from individuals with parochial interest.

 

The National President of Njiko Igbo Forum, Reverend Okechukwu Obioha, warned Buhari against running what he described as a “Northern government.”

 

Obioha expressed the fear that the trend, if left unchecked, could destroy the country.

 

He said, “Buhari is simply running a Northern government. He is making his appointments as if he is angry with other sections of the country. The appointments are lopsided in favour of the North and that is not acceptable.”

Ezenwammadu:
But APC gave the bokoharam sponsor senatorial ticket and funded his campaign

PDP had lots of moles whose propanda helped APC to snatch power from PDP hence his rewarding senate ticket. What he did while in PDP, He is perfecting in APC. That's what you get when you weaken opposition to get strong. #Self destruction

Nigeria is bigger than any political party, APC, PDP na same same

Delta State health care system is very friendly.

Aside cards going for 30 Naira, child delivery is free of charge and there is free health care for under 5 children.

Child delivery is free ? Hope is not the type been offered at Okwei General hospital.... U know free things can come with blind eyes or limping leg.

How do you explain free maternal care where every case that requires CS is refered to FMC asaba with flimpy excuse of no anaesthetician. Thay ll just pack three pregnant women that requires CS in one Keke down to FMC . Free healthcare indeed. I rather pay than submitt to such free ticket to grave or delivery complication

omenka:
Yes, an Igbo, but most importantly, she's a NIGERIAN. The foreigners don't see us as Hausas, Yorubas or Igbos, but as Nigerians.

You guys really need to chill with all these ethnic tinged utterances. They're gonna do us no good.

Unazi is typical to Benue..............don't mind them.

ideykwum:
My dear, you witnessed a component of the debacle! I personally know several graduates that were employed, but were pauperised by Amaechi's retroactive policies! The educational sector is in shambles, and Rivers children struggle to speak intelligible English! When was it this bad? Even Odili did better in education!

Go to Calabar, even the street urchins speak good English!! It's very sad, and as a Rivers man, I'm grieved!!! I hope Wike has something good for our educational sector, despite his crude demeanour!

Let's hope so. Atleast records has it that he was one time education ministers. He should bring back home all the policies he formed during his tenure.

ideykwum:
I'm Rivers, but equally proud of Anambra! Ameachi wasn't strategic about education! You build beautiful schools without the plan to ensure that quality teachers are recruited! The so-called "free" schools have several charges and levies that the students have to pay! And wait, hear this...After mass recruitment of teachers in a reactive policy, he kept the teachers for over 7 months without pay! How's that for good motivation? He is a clueless and insipid governor, and we are glad to say good riddance to him!

I understand u wella. Rivers govt invested in structure but the NYSC corpers must teach is taking its toll in d sector cos trained govt recruited teachers has abandoned their job for corpers who can not do much. Rivers state govt teachers now form supervisors that supervise corpers class note. I hope govt withdraws that policy someday so d teachers will sit up to their duties. My humble submission, i served in Rivers state

One thing I love about Anambra state Educational sector is that Government owned school still survive and thrive despites the uglyy tsunami/rot that have swallowed their counterparts in other state.

All I see in most states is decay in govt school making business ventures in the name of private school(big structures with unqualified educationist) boom. One can still comfortably send her kids to govt owned school in Anambra without regrets.

Govt pls sustain the devpt in Educational sector

Port harcout. Some students from within and schools in neighbouring states, some stay post NYSC who swored to marry oil coy guys or work in oil and gas no matter what. International level sef.

Abuja- coperate working class runs gals, I must identify with political class and unemployeed searching for job connection

Benin- sharpening up for italy moves, grooming them for export and normal category runs babe.

Lagos- All category they oooooo

Owerri- All categories, imported and export,undergraduate runs.
They operate from owerri to all parts of the country
Asaba- Gbo gbo stay back NYSC, movie actress (waka pass oo), they comb PH, Lag, Abuja from here

Enugu- student levels

socialmediaman:
Still in the habit of appointing party people in sensitive positions. GEJ never changes! Well, I learnt Peter Obi did some commendable job in Anambra though, what I don't know is whether he is technocrat enough to be in the business of Stock Market Regulation.

Yes he will deliver. The man understand stock market wella looking at his antecedent

So that as a civil servant I can earn salary like our politician, we can all enter Aso rock freely, travel to all nooks and cranniesof Nigeria withoput any security threat. Make our pilitical positons less juicy to avoid I must win or bomb the country..............

edynasty:


The last time i checked Lagos enjoyed 8 years of good governance, the last time i checked SS and SE has suffered under development because they've always made bad decisions. Some folks just like constant abuse sha! poor upbringing sha!

Please let it be drum into your ear that Anambra state enjoyed 8 years of quality governance under Peter Obi and still counting under the current administration of Obiano. The devpt cuts across the three senatorial and not merely concentrating in the cities. We aint boot lickers, we criticise and challenge our governors to do more rather than clapping for them when they steal plenty and deliver little.

I rate govenors performance using their federal allocation and IGR. Can't compare Akpabio and Peter Obi's achievement nor Peter Obi and Martin Elechi cos of fund available for the state devpt is diff.

SS and SE always making poor decision (Political I guess)1$ abeg leave people to their choices and deal with it if it doesn't align with yours....and under developed ? Really ? Which state are you from ? Your LGA ? Your Native town ? Don't tell me you from Lagos oooo cos the last time I checked most people in Lagos have lost their root. Where in Oyo are you from. This is politics, that am APC and PDP wins or PDP and APC wins means voice of the majority...... Anyway Naigerians are still learning and afteralll poor man votes, dies, rants, rig for our politicians and the winner takes it home to better his family and throw crumbs to the very hungry / poor youths

Jaypea98:
In a sane environ PDP shouldn't even be contemplating contesting for Lagos votes after abandoning and starving it of funds and allcations for.16years. But my fellow countrymen never cease to amase me with their actions.

The people that starved APC of its funds and allocation for 16yrs are now in APC. So how come you allowed your enemy to camp with you.

CR77:
The politicians you are fighting and killing yourselves over are probably at home enjoying with his family

Abeg my people oo my own fight no pass 4 here nairaland

The last time I heard somebody made such a silly statement over an incident, she got to warri and got a phone call. Behold she passed her uncle dead scene on the road unknown to her. Not that am wishing u so but be careful with what you vomitt

Or maybe they even have more than required


But no water


Ok oooo

Na sooo
Even the goats voted during last election. Our problem is not just leadership problem but also followership in the sense that some of us allow our church leaders, Imams, Emirs and Obas to decide for us who to vote. It does not matter if the person will deliver or not. In our politicians voice......Politics is for the poor, they vote!

nawtikid:
D southeast who voted for jonathan as a result of sentiments and hatred 4 d northerners nw feel dey shud b considered for a huge government post.

I'm nt in anyway tribalistic, but I think dey brought dis discomfort upon demselves

I jst hope baba will du justice to dis matter

As 4 Tinubu, only God knws d intentions of dis crook

sai Buhari

Sai Baba or No Sai Baba....... GEJ or no GEJ ..... Leave Igbos with their choice. Igbos are one tribe destined to survive by all means. God has made it so. Forget Nigeria leadership charades.

Chukwu na aku eze
Ahu ba ghi eze ama
Igbo bu enyi

Some people will hold No 1- No 10 citizen yet use it to impoverish majority in their region while a few no benefit. If you listened to TVC in between election result annoucement, they emphasised on the voter's apathy in east esp Anambra state. Am not commending the east but looking at our country leadership style..........mmmmmh. In Nigerian politicians voice " Politics is for the poor", they vote!
