When was the last time a northerner was made minister of finance? Bubu has continued that wicked trend.
Kemi Adeosun - Finance
Chris Ngige - Labour and Employment
Udoma Udo Udoma - Budget and National planning.
Okechukwu Enelamah - Trade, Investment and Industry.
Haba! This is blatant discrimination against the Northerners.
Is Bubu trying to say that the average abôki know nothing about money
Bubu is a wicked man!

TonyeBarcanista:
The portfolios assigned to ministers yesterday only confirmed the fears that some of us have that Buhari appears to have a hidden agenda. In case you are not aware, be informed that President Buhari has finally moved ALL the security apparatus to the North, including the Defence and Interior/Police Affairs ministries without a space for anybody from the south.

In the FG's cabinet, there are basically THREE portfolio that is responsible for security. The three are; Defence, Interior and Police Affairs. Traditionally, the Defence ministry comes with two positions(a substantive minister and minister of state). If the substantive minister is from the north, the junior minister will always come from the south. The Interior ministry and Police Affairs ministry is also shared between the south and the north at the discretion of the President. In the event that both ministries are merged, then the region that doesn't produce the Defence Minister get the Interior minister.

President Olusegun Obasanjo Era
During Obasanjo's era, his Defence minister in his first tenure was General TY Danjuma(Taraba/North), his Defence Minister(State) was Mrs Dupe Adelaja. In his second tenure, his Defence Minister was Rabiu Kwankwaso(Kano/North), with Roland Oritsejafor (Delta/South) and later Thomas Ironsi(South) as State Defence minister.

In the Interior Ministry was Sunday Afolabi from Osun state/South(1999-2003).

Obasanjo would later split the Police Affairs Ministry from Interior Ministry. He appointed Southerner Broderick Bozimo(Delta) as Police Affairs Minister(2003-January 2007). He left the Interior Ministry for the North (Muhammed Shatta, Iyorcha Ayu and Muhammed Magaji).

A Northerner (Gen Aliyu Gusau/Zamfara) was his National Security Adviser.

President Musa Yar'adua Era
In Yaradua's Tenure, his Defence Minister was Yahale Ahmed(Bauchi/North) and later Dr Shetimma Mustapha(North) with Demola Seriki(Lagos/South) as Minister of State For Defence. His Interior Minister was Major General Godwin Abbe(Edo/South). Yaradua, would later move Abbe to Defence Ministry(2009) while Dr Shetimma Mustafa moved to interior.
The Police Affairs Ministry however remained in the North(Dr Lame).

His National security Adviser was Abdulahi Muktar(Kano)

President Ebele Jonathan's Era
Under Jonathan, his Defence Ministers Hadiru Bello and Aliyu Gasau were Northerners. To maintain balance, he had Erelu Obada(Osun/South) and Musliu Obanikoro(Lagos/South) as his Minister of State for Defence for Bello and Gusau respectively. His Interior Minister was also from the North(Abba Moro/Benue) but he left Police Affairs Minister in the South; Navy Captain Caleb Olubode(Ekiti) and Jelili Adesanyan.

His NSA were late Andrew Azaz (Bayelsa/Southi) and Sambo Dasuki (Sokoto/North)

President Buhari Moved ALL To North
Buhari however FAILED to recognise this balance in sharing of security cabinet portfolios. After merging the Police Affairs with the Interior Ministry, one naturally expect the South to get either the Interior or Defence Ministry. But Buhari pushed both Ministries to the North with Alhaji Dan Ali(Zamfara/North West) and Abdulramman Dambazau(Kano/North West) assigned to Defence and Interior(Police Affairs + Interior) ministries respectively. More troublesome is the fact that there are no positions for Minister of State for both ministries.

As it stands, we have NO Southerner in any of the security decision making cabinet organ under this APC Buhari administion. Let me explain;

The Office of National Security Adviser is in charge of DSS, NIA, DMI etc. It is occupied by Gen Muguno(North East)

The Minister of Defence oversees the Armed Forces(Army, Navy and Airforce). It is occupied by Alhaji Ali(Zamfara/North West)

The Interior minister oversees the Police Force, NSCDC, Prison Service, Immigration, Fire Service ane every other paramilitary service. It is occupied by Abdulrahman Dambazau(Kano/North West)

All three positions are domiciled in the North(2 NW and 1 NE) with no space for the South. Not even Minister of state/"Deputy" was kept for the South.


The action of Buhari-led APC government to marginalise the South from the security scheme of things in Nigeria is the height of unpatriotism, sectionalism, and should be condemned by all lovers of unity and Nigeria.


May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

after all this you stil dont have sense

maupe:
Thank you Tonye for pointing out this fact. Most Nigerians were simply fooled by the red carrot that was dangled in front of their noses. The power works and housing nonsense made most Nigerians to close their eyes to the obvious fact. The President yesterday delivered a master stroke in his plans to usurp and destroy our democracy. Nigerians seem to forget that with the inception of the TSA and the zero budget policy has turned such juicy ministers into redundant stooges. The sack of 18 perm.secs was the icing on the cake, because the new Perm.secs will act as spies and defacto heads of the ministries. The only positions the President saw as pivotal to his plan are the defence portfolios and the oil ministry. This is the same scenario that has been playing on for decades, the north dangle the private sector in front of our noses and then opt for the gun which is the most fundamental instrument in governance.

TonyeBarcanista:
There is nothing like "competence" in the appointment. Are you saying that NO southerner is competent enough to handle Interior and Defence ministries? Or you think we don't know that the Defence ministry get the highest budgetary allocation? Not even a minister of state of either ministry was created for southerners. This is in addition to the office of National Security Adviser that went to the North. Is Buhari not the one promoting sectionalism?

PassingShot:
Chief Wailer, listen to Abraham Lincoln:

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".

If Buhari had not kept Defence and Interior ministries in the North, he would surely have needed to keep some of the juicy ones in the South which would still have made you wail beyond what you're currently doing:

Ministries in the South:
Power, Works, Housing, Health, Solid Minerals, Finance, Budget and Planning, Petroleum, Transportation, Industry, Trade and Investment, Labour and Employment, Science and Technology, Foreign Affairs, Niger Delta, and Communications.

The North only has few Class A ministties as follows: Agriculture, Education, Interior, Defence and Justice; with the rest being junior ministers.

Now, tell us which of those class A ministries in the South you would have switched with Defence and Interior to make you SHUT UP?

You're a broken record already boy.

TonyeBarcanista:
So non of the 17 ministers from the South were fit enough to hold either of the Defence minitry or the Interior ministry? Not even a junior minister for either portfolios. All to the North in addition to NSA. Buhari is the most sectional president ever.

OrlandoOwoh:
In the same vein, is there nobody in the north that can be made the finance minister, that made Buhari to continue the trend of his predecessors of making southerners hold that ministry?

Can we then say the economy of Nigeria has been southernized since the following ministries, finance, budget and planning, petroleum (state) as well as labour and employment, are manned by Adeosun, Udoma, Kachikwu and Ngige?

TonyeBarcanista:
Which Economy did he Southernise?
There are...
Suleiman Adamu(Jigawa)-Water Resources

Audu Ogbeh (Benue)–Agriculture

Aisha Abubakar (Sokoto) — State for Trade, Industry and
Investment

Zainab Ahmed (Kaduna) – State for Budget and National
Planning

Abubakar Bwari Bawa (Niger) — State for Solid Minerals

And
Muhammadu Buhari(Katsina)- Petroleun Resources
