Tinubu’s Appointments and Federal Character
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an outstanding instance of optimism, patience, hard work and a strong believer in the federal system of government.
The last few years Nigeria have witnessed lopsidedness in the political appointment and appointment into various government agencies.
Stakeholders during and after the election have campaigned vigorously that Nigeria should be returned to the days of true federalism.
“President Tinubu, a destabilized Nigerian, has a lengthy history of demonstrating that he is a man who faithfully upholds the ideals of federal character. Every tribe in Nigeria was represented at various levels of government while he served as governor in Lagos. He appointed Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic nations to his cabinet.
Tinubu in the last few weeks in office has made few appointments, a strong indication of what to expect in the composition of his cabinet has shown that all ethnic group and religious composition will have a stake in the government formation at the federal level.
Unlike past administration, political appointment and juicy agencies are being zoned to a particular zone, a move that always degenerate into national clamor for inclusiveness of all ethnic group in the country.
