South-West states’ chairmen of the APC, have decried the pattern of appointments by President Buhari, saying all of them had ethnic slant.
That's the problem with Nigeria,everything is judged on ethnical and religious basis.We see and hear this so much that it is so hard to know when the matter of favouritism is actually taking place.
.In my opinion,a man or woman should be appointed to a post based on their ability to do
the job.But not in Nigeria,we would rather see zoning and suffer than the right man not coming from their ethnicity or religious sect.
It's hard to say if Buhari has chosen this appointed people because they share his ethnicity and religion.But, it is a perculiar.
They said aside his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, every other appointments so far made by Buhari have been from the core North and all of them northern Muslims. The party chairmen vowed not to recognise the emergence of Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara until the crisis in the National Assembly is resolved by the party.
In a joint statement they issued yesterday, the chairmen vowed to resist any attempt by some elements in the party to humiliate the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The statement was signed by Chief Henry Ajomale (Lagos), Prince Gboyega Famoodun (Osun), Alhaji Roqeeb Adeniji (Ogun), Chief Akin Oke of Oyo State, Chief Olajide Awe (Ekiti) and Mr. Isaac Kekemeke, (Ondo).
According to them, if this move is not halted, the reaction of the region could have dire consequences.
They warned that they would soon break their silence over the ill-treatment of Tinubu by some elements in the APC.
The chairmen urged “those trying either to intimidate or embarrass Tinubu to retrace their steps as the South-West’s response will shock everyone to the foundation.”
Tinubu had rejected the emergence of Saraki, insisting that the Senate President should apologise to him for the coup.
But Tinubu, who controls the party in the South-West seems to be alone on this matter as President Muhammadu Buhari and key APC officials had accepted Saraki and Dogara as NASS leaders.
