Appointments: Kogi and Kwara are Not Part Of The North - Yakassai by blamingthedevil(op): 6:39am On Jul 31, 2025
Whenever you point out the lopsided nature of Tinubu's appointments, particularly in favor of Yoruba tribe (whether from the SW or North - Kogi and Kwara), they deflect by citing Buhari's precedent. Let me also remind you of this @PremiumTimesng infographic on FPMB appointees.

First of all, let us look at a list of Controller-Generals of the Federal Fire Service from 2014 till date..

▪︎ Engr. Garba Joseph Anebi (2014 to 2019 — Appointed by GEJ and reappointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Benue State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Liman Alhaji Ibrahim (2019 to 2022 — Appointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Niger State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Engr. Jaji Olola Abdulganiyu (2022 to 2025 — Appointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Kwara State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Olumode Samuel Adeyemi (Effective From August 2025)
Kogi State, NORTH-CENTRAL.

Dear
@dawisu
,

You have been moving somehow with your takes on this administration for a while now. As a respected public figure, I have been holding back my response, but this time, I'd like for us to set the records straight.

First of all, let us look at a list of Controller-Generals of the Federal Fire Service from 2014 till date..

▪︎ Engr. Garba Joseph Anebi (2014 to 2019 — Appointed by GEJ and reappointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Benue State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Liman Alhaji Ibrahim (2019 to 2022 — Appointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Niger State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Engr. Jaji Olola Abdulganiyu (2022 to 2025 — Appointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Kwara State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Olumode Samuel Adeyemi (Effective From August 2025)
Kogi State, NORTH-CENTRAL

Apparently, this particular position has always been domiciled in the North, particularly the North-Central even before the Late fPMB assumed office in 2015, a pattern which he maintained until he left office in 2023. Did you ever criticise Late fPMB for maintaining this pattern?

Let's also not omit the fact that appointments like this are not political but based on qualification and the newly appointed CG by President
@officialABAT
was before his appointment, a Deputy Controller-General, which makes him qualified for the role upon the retirement of the current CG in August.

Oga Peacock, I think it is better you come out with your full chest to say exactly want you want and stop all this corner-corner.

Allah ya ba da sa'a, Alhaji 🙏🏾

If you ask people to list how many Northern States we have, they say 19.

If you ask them to name the 19 states, they mention Kogi and Kwara.

So why are some people always angry when a northerner from North Central with a different name gets a federal appointment?

Are Agbadorians back to putting words into people's mouth? Is this how they plan to win his re-election. No-one has accused Tinubu of not giving appointments to the North or South, they've only accused him of tribalism and it's clear to see. The Northcentral stretches across 6 distinct states with diverse tribes but Tinubu's Northcentral appointments only go to the Yoruba-speaking parts of Kogi and Kwara. That's tribalism.

Since you know they are part of Kogi and Kwara, why were they neglected in federal appointments in the past?. Are they only useful for votes and to add to the population of the north inorder to get more federal allocations and resources?

By the way, this is the same Yakassai that was insinuating that the reduction in the prices of foods was a way Tinubu is using to destroy the economy of the north. He rather food inflation continues to grow and food out of reach of common man just because of the greed his type are benefitting from the arbitrary increase in the prices of foods despite several Goverment interventions. These are the lilliputians and enemies of the state that referred to themselves as elder statesmen

-Kiss the truth!

But the Nigerian Jews said Kwara is Fulani land

He is saying the truth. Kwara should not be part of the north. He may be mischievous in his assertion but to me there is sense in it.

90 percent of Kwara indigenes are Yorubas.
Re: Appointments: Kogi and Kwara are Not Part Of The North - Yakassai by Simongm(m):
I really like the conversation that this appointment and that of NNPC man is bringing up. To the "northern Nigeria", we in Kogi and Kwara are not northerner, despite the North Central status.
This appointment is clearly regarded as another one of Tinubu's nepotistic appointments not forgetting that they often brag about 19 northern states whenever they need numbers, but when appointment comes, they refer us back to Yoruba status.
We ain't only good for northern voting, we are also good for appointment.
If you guys are not okay with that, them advocate for us to be merge with our kiths and kins in the Southwest, period!

Kogi and Kwara people, hope the writing is clear on the wall? Benue, Nasarawa,plateau and Taraba people,you will be accepted as northerners when it's time for politics, but they will disown you when it is time for appointments.

Tinubu and his urchins can only continue to deceive himself and his zombies on this issue.

Meanwhile, we would continue with the pampering of those we are expecting votes from with appointments and projects. They have caught our ears, we no dey hear what the naysayers are saying
