The national chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will at the right time balance his appointments to cut across all geopolitical zones in the country.

Odigie-Oyegun, who allayed fears of marginalisation in the president’s appointments, spoke yesterday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja when he granted audience to a delegation from Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo (MBO) Dynamic Support Group, led by its national coordinator, Hon. Usman Ibrahim. He noted that the set of appointments made so far were Buhari’s personal staff, which is his prerogative, while some of them are too strategic and important to be left for partisanship.

The APC chairman noted, however, that there are numerous political appointments to be made by the president where the principle of federal character will be observed.

“There have been a lot of unfortunate misinformation and uproar against appointments at this stage. We have two set of appointments that have been taking place. One set is the personal privilege of Mr. President as far as his personal staff is concerned.

“The other set has to do with a few important and strategic persons that are going to help him, either in the fight against corruption or the fight against insurgency in the North-East of our
country, but this is not where to play the political balancing game.

These are serious (appointments) and the president has the right to appoint those he has confidence in because these are the areas where he has made promises to Nigerians. “But we have thousands of political appointments and he has just made a few
appointments, while thousands are still waiting. The balancing must happen when the political appointments are being made but we must not, at this point in time, with the few appointments say that one must be from the North, one must be from South or from the East – not at this very stage,” he said.

Oyegun asserted that the clarifications became necessary following the concerns expressed in certain quarters over the regional tilt of the few presidential appointments, and said no leader can marginalise any part of the country, insisting that, “that will not happen.” On the ongoing anti-corruption fight by the APC-led government, he said: “If a particular group has ruled for 16 years, then who is guilty of corruption?” “And all the fight, witch-hunting are neither here nor there.

What is important is that everybody who has a skeleton in his cupboard, they are the ones who have something to fear. If you do not have any
skeletons in the cupboard, you go to sleep and sleep very sound but, of course, if you have, you will pretend and try to divert attention.”
