Why on earth is Bubu always appointing people that have affinity/connection to the north?

Slow and steady. If nigeria didn't kill corruption, corruption will kill nigeria - buhari. South south is behind you in the fight against corruption. I don't knw abt the Igbo. All Nigerian should join the president in kicking the serious cancer out of Nigeria called corruption.

That's why Buhari will not succeed.
His appointments are so biased in favor of the north that it is obvious all his fight will be against the south.
He is pulling legitimacy from under his own feet.

They are all beneficiaries of the new government. I guess it pays to be a vehement critic. When there is a change in government, you just might end up on top of things. They should enjoy it while it lasts, because when the music stops, they might end up spending the rest of their lives behind bars for war crimes. The head of the Pinochet government's secret police, Manuel Contreras just passed away last week in his prison cell. He never realized while in government, that someday he would be on the receiving end.
PS: we already have the EFCC, ICPC, the attorney general to provide him all the legal advice he needs. So why the committee. Just another jamboree, if you ask me.

We must first kick out your English! It's atrocious.

Oh como on!!!
nairaland has been boring without the wailers.
I even tried to provide an excuse they can feast on yet my brothers are still keeping quiet.
We need to let Pa Bubu know that he is not the president of the north alone. Why couldn't he also appoint professors from universities in other regions. This is not fair
