You see your life? Actually, I never expected you to agree that Buhari is a sectional president.

Abeg Lalasticlala Seun and Obinoscopy, please the needful

nwadiuko1:
permit me to say that you might be right in what you just typed up there....

But you take advantage of ethnicity when it is advantageous to you, and cleverly. Run down others for doing so.

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 are 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 services. 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

malton:
@TonyeBarcanista, were it not for differences in grammar and writing style, you'd have easily passed for FFK. You wail about anything and everything, everytime!

A good critic picks his moments, you on the other hand, have become so predictable. People on here had predicted that you'd conjure up epistles to flaw the appointments, lo and behold, you just made them seem prophetic!

Security matters are very delicate. You don't assign sensitive responsibility based only on recommendations. It's more an issue of who you know best, and can trust.

Information asymmetry may be why he didn't delegate such authority to a southerner. It may not even be regionally driven. Unless you have privy information on why he chose those people, you cannot say for sure.

I hate it when people posit on conjectures and hearsay!

TonyeBarcanista:
does this make sense?

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.

which financial sector when TSA is firmly in northern hands

maupe:
Those ministries are now useless. The TSA and zero budget will keep the decision making of this ministries solely in the hands of the President. Fashola and Amaechi are now redundant puppets. The defence ministry is the most important ministry. If the financial sector was Paramount, then by now the north would be no more.

TonyeBarcanista:
You atr right that I ignored passing.shot(like I have been doing). It was mischievous to say powerful ministries like Agriculture(North), Petroleum(North/Buhari) and Water Resources(North/Aisha) are 'junior ministers'. I don't engage in unnecessary argument. Hence, there was NO need for rebuttal!

Tonye, What will PMB do to make you happy? With all the juicy post given to the South you still complain, now I believe you such a pained man. You need to learn how to be in the opposition awaits not everything you complain about. If PMB give those positions to the south and take all the juicy post from the south to the north you will still wail. Now can you please name 2 people from southerner who can be given those post.
