APC Group Carpets Tinubu For Favouring Yorubas With Juicy Positions
Iduozee Efe Paul, Benin
As the business of governance activities proceeds more in the country, some angery members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under the canopy of Progressive Change Ambassadors of Nigeria (PCAN) have carpeted President Bola Amhed Tinubu of making lopsided appointments in his regime.
.
This followed a statement issued and signed by the PCAN Executive Director, Alhaji Abdulkareem Ubaydah and Secretary Muhammad Rabiu Awwal, the group berated Tinubu of ignoring competent and qualified individuals from other ethnic groups.
The statement reads," Mr. President, we write to you today as concerned citizens of Nigeria and deeply troubled members of your party – the APC to express our deep concern about the perceived imbalance in your political appointments so far.
“We have observed that a significant majority of these appointments have been made from your southwest geopolitical zone and especially from your ethnic group – the Yorubas, to the exclusion of other qualified and competent individuals from other parts of the country.
“It is important to remember always that you are the president of all Nigerians, not just that of Yorubas of the southwest geopolitical zone.
“Your political appointments should, therefore, reflect the diversity of our nation and ensure that all Nigerians have a voice in your government.
“Unfortunately, your appointments to date have fallen far short of this standard. For instance, control of Nigeria’s economy has been ceded exclusively to southwest Yorubas as all appointments in that sector have been filled by them.
“Additionally, of 20 presidential aides appointed by you, 15 are from your geopolitical zone and ethnicity.
“Also, in the recent appointments of presidential Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants, 8 are Yorubas from the Southwest! Also worthy of note are the facts that the Inspector-general of Police, Controller-generals of Nigeria Customs and Immigration Services, respectively, as well as the Chief of Army Staff, are all members of your ethnic group.”
PCAN warned the president to reconsider his approach to political appointments and to make a concerted effort to include people from all geopolitical zones in his government.
“This is the only way to ensure that all Nigerians have a fair chance to contribute to the development of our country and to live in a united and prosperous nation,” the group stated.
The group who mainly comprised of people from the Southwest Region are being appointed to top positions by the president, according to Afemai Reporter.
