This is no longer about politics or party, but the destiny of over 100 million Nigerians.

You wont take someone that knows nothing about a sector and put him there because he is loyal to u.

Since all his friends and loyalists are from the north, why not contest for state governor?
Loyalty is paramount in any social organization, even your office or workplace. A leader can only achieve his goals when he works with people he can trust and people that believes in him. Even in football a coach will only choose players that are loyal and dedicated to the coach. The minute the coach feels you are not loyal, he gets rid of you no matter how good you are not- ask David Beckham about Sir Alex Ferguson.

OBJ said worse. He said loyalty was paramount in selecting aids. He said he prefers selecting retired military men into sensitive position because he could vouch for their loyalty. He appointed Ahmadu Ali as PDP chairman because of loyalty, he coerced Jonathan to be Vice to Yaradua because he was impressed with the degree of loyalty Jonathan had to Alamiesiegha. So in politics and military loyalty is of utmost importance.
Can you also tell the house how Obj and the men you mentioned above part ways.

Rewarding loyal friends at the expense of the economy and unity of the country.

Does president Buhari needs an MBA to know that the unity and economy of the country comes before friends and party affiliations

wirinet you really amaze me!!! I never knew you could so incurably daft and myopic!!! So you it would be okay if Buhari appoints only the people from Daura to work for him because he can only trust people from that part of the country ? In a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria,this sort of actions would spell doom

You mean like buhari was loyal to abacha? Even when his family was returning looted funds, the loyal buhari refused to admit abacha was corrupt?

In whose interest is this loyalty? Buhari or Nigeria?

Its no longer about merit, now is about rewarding the loyal guys.

Can you tell me how many OBJ's loyal trusted men have parted ways with him? These men remain eternally loyal to OBJ. You will be surprised that these men ensured the destruction of PDP from inside. Men like Ahmadu Ali, Sure Lamido, Bode George, and lots of others still take instructions from OBJ. Did not IBB advice Jonathan to make peace with OBJ if he wants a chance in winning the elections? Even Andy Uba is still loyal to Baba .

Please learn to argue intellectually than insultively. POLITICS and any other human (and even animal) social construct has high regard for loyalty. Buhari cannot appoint all over 600 appointments from Duara, what he said he that he is appointing his personal aids from those he can trust and people that have been with him through thick and thin. Other appointments would conform to federal character.

So buhari is rewarding them with federal appointments for sticking with him,and there I was thinking d appointments were based on merits. Ok o, I wonder what thosemasturbating masturbators will say about this. Lying liars.
Buhari is not an ethnic supremacist. he is only rewarding loyalty. That is why i believe no matter the propaganda by rivers PDP and Wike against Amaechi, Buhari will still nominate amaechi into his cabinent. Buhari value loyalty not ethnicity.
I respect him for that.

“If they will do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian president, let them look at the Constitution a Nigerian president works with, there are people who will closely work with me that don’t need to be taken to the Senate,” he said of his critics, according to a translation of the BBC interview, by Daily Trust.

“If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom we came all the way right from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in and I can trust them with any post, will that amount to anything wrong? I have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward of such dedication and suffering?

“They did not defect because of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments. What is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the federal government) because I have confidence that things will go normal?”
Though it's his right but is it too difficult for Buhari to understand the negative effects of nepotism in a multi ethnic/religious society?

OBJ didnt have loyalist. Those people you mentioned are fair weather friends.
In d case of Buhari, these are people who stood by him even when there was nothing to gain immediately. They were there when things were rough. In d case of OBJ, the people you mentioned were only controlled by OBJ power not love.
In d case of Buhari it was due to love of the personality of Buhari that they stood by him.

Bros you are spot on. That was d same reason all Nigerian coaches loved Garba Lawal those days. he was always loyal. The same reason Chelsea have not sold Mikel Obi.

I just love this man.
He may not do things that many Nigerians see as politically correct, but his honesty and straight-forwardness is simply infectious.
How strange! Its hard in this age and time to find a leader that won't just tell you what you wanna hear but instead tell you what it really is.

I ask again, loyalty at whose expense? Buhari was loyal to abacha while he was looting Nigeria. He never blew the whistle.

Are u saying he will appoint amechi into his cabinate every if he is guilty of corrupt practices while in Office.

Indeed like you said, Ministerial appointments in particular would conform to federal character because it is a Constitutional requirement that every State should be in FEC. I pray he finds at least one trusted person from every State! As a military officer, he must have travelled far and wide, and interacted with Nigerians of all tribes and religion. I also hope that the more strategic Ministries such as Finance, Power, Defence, FCT etc will not go to any particular region. All regions including yours, mine, theirs and his have at least one competent person in one area. If competent, loyal and trusted people are only in one region, then something is wrong -with all the rest of us?

So service chiefs,heads of key government parastatals like immigration,customs,NIMASA,SGF etc are president's personal aides and do not need to conform to federal character? What brand of goof are you smoking dude!!!

And some people were here all night on Nairaland killing their sleep, to defend the president's ridiculous political gaffe. They were mentioning words like competence, intelligence and discipline. Now the President has come out to say one word: FAVOURITISM.
