How do we chose these appointments in Nigeria? Is by “man know man” and inheritance of your father’s favors owed or competence in leadership and experience. Because each one has a different outcome to how the nation turns out

Appointing a former military ruler’s son to head a major bank raises more than a few eyebrows. Nigerians deserve appointments based on merit and expertise not legacy or influence. This choice should be weighed more on competence, not connections.
Re: Tinubu Appoints Muhammad Babangida, IBB Son, As Chairman Of Bank Of Agriculture by AMINDA:
The desperation and panic is now palpable. Arrogance have gone out the window now that the handwriting can be clearly seen on the wall. Tinubu is now hopping from one Northern state to another and has suddenly remembered the North for yet another elitist appointment saddled with cronyism. What happened to the Lagos boys? Unfortunately, it's a little too late. Where are the Southern appointees? Yet another strategic mistake. Focus on the South Tinubu, the North is gone!

The fear of Coalition

Tinubu is doing everything possible to sugarcoat and please the AREWA, especially North West. The river bank of votes.

He wants those people to help and canvass votes for him

He has started his divisive politics to divide the Northern vote.


I hope Atiku, El Rufai and the entire North are alert.


He has started his local Yahoo Yahoo politics of using temporary political appointment to divide regions to get vote.


Nigerians are wiser now anyway.

Tinubu forget about 2027, all these your Oluwole politics won't work again, it has expired cheesy

Yes naaaaaaa
Appointments in that country are never by merit.
It's by "who do you know?
Always by "scratch your back and I scratch your back"

Hopefully he has the right qualifications and experience to lead the board.

Why are all the appointments Northerners? Is Tinubu threatened by the emergence of a likely notable Northerner as Presidential candidate for 2027?
Re: Tinubu Appoints Muhammad Babangida, IBB Son, As Chairman Of Bank Of Agriculture by Maxymilliano(m): 5:57pm On Jul 18, 2025
With tinubu he doesn't care if you have the requisite experience in the sector or not, all that matters is winning the elites to his side towards 2027.

Next is Yusuf Buhari
