As in ehnn. It is just funny how it sounds. Like an apprentice gaining freedom from his master to set up his own.

Senator representing Abia South senatorial district at the National Assembly, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has cried out that President Bola Tinubu has breached the federal character law with his recent appointments.

Asari Dokubo is also lamenting over this in a trending Tiktok video

According to Abaribe, the federal character law, which stipulates the balancing of appointments among the six geo-political zones, was observed to be breached by the Buhari administration.

He lamented that Tinubu had taken the same route as the former administration in concentrating over 22 critical positions on his kinsmen in breach of the federal character law.

His words “When Buhari started this ethnic concentration of positions, I was one of the first people to shout at it. At that time in 2016, it was very clear that Buhari was going a route that nobody had seen in this country, appointing those from his ethnic divide and religion.

“But we said that this was setting a wrong precedent for the country. We continually preached against it. We said this would be an ill wind that would not blow Nigeria any good.

“Now this is several years later, we have seen where this has collapsed the economy. We have gotten to a situation where the present government of President Bola Tinubu which we thought was going to repair the damaged psyche of Nigerians, is actually doubling on what Buhari did.

“The Igbo have a saying that if a bad practice stays long, it becomes a custom. It became a culture for Buhari to concentrate appointments in his zone, and now Tinubu has continued it.

“It is like Tinubu saying if Buhari could do it, why can’t I do, he is even doing more than Buhari did. Most people who come from Buhari’s place are now finding it more difficult to complain because this is what they enjoyed in their own time.

“Today, the president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu has done the same thing. You can count 22 critical positions, all the positions in the financial sector and too many are from his side.”

Who forged?

Dele Momodu, chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has weighed in on the uproar generated by the release of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic record by the Chicago State University (CSU).

According to him, lawyers like Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation were mute because the case is indefensible.

Recall that Tinubu is being accused by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of forging his CSU certificate submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Director of Strategic Communications of the PDP’s defunct campaign council further criticised those asking him to support Tinubu because they are friends but said he could not align with forgery.

The Publisher of the Ovation Magazine said: “Stop surrounding yourself with sycophants who don’t know anything. There are more intelligent people in Nigeria who will advise you. Go and find them. They are there.

“Nobody can justify forgery, nobody! Lawyers know that anyway so I’m sure that people like Fani-Kayode , know. They can’t justify it, that’s why they are all keeping quiet now.”

He submitted that the President needs to apologise and it is left for Nigerians to accept or not.

“Why can’t you just apologise and move on? Like I said, it doesn’t mean people will accept that apology. At least start from somewhere, you are insulting us.

“And you are allowing these boys who are just coming to collect peanuts to insult everybody on social media? I will defend a man who has the courage to apologise,” Momodu added.

“Atiku has invested his resources in his belief and principles and has moved on. He has fulfilled all righteousness. Anyone with common sense will just apologize. To be insulting Nigerians on top of it is the height of shameless.

“I will defend a man who has the courage to apologize. I’ve not been an apostle of Tinubu’s style of politics. There are things my body cannot take. Some people can be voluntary slaves but he knows me, I’m not one of them,” he said during a Facebook Live session.
