Ministerial Portfolio: Buhari Has Successfully Northernised The Security Sector by TonyeBarcanista(m): 11:50am On Nov 12, 2015 |
The portfolios assigned to ministers yesterday only confirmed the fears that some of us have that Buhari appears to have a hidden agenda. In case you are not aware, be informed that President Buhari has finally moved ALL the security apparatus to the North, including the Defence and Interior/Police Affairs ministries without a space for anybody from the south. In the FG's cabinet, there are basically THREE portfolio that are responsible for security. The three are; Defence, Interior and Police Affairs. Traditionally, the Defence ministry comes with two positions(a substantive minister and minister of state). If the substantive minister is from the north, the junior minister will always come from the south. The Interior ministry and Police Affairs ministry is also shared between the south and the north at the discretion of the President. In the event that both ministries are merged, then the region that doesn't produce the Defence Minister get the Interior minister. President Olusegun Obasanjo Era During Obasanjo's era, his Defence minister in his first tenure was General TY Danjuma(Taraba/North), his Defence Minister(State) was Mrs Dupe Adelaja. In his second tenure, his Defence Minister was Rabiu Kwankwaso(Kano/North), with Roland Oritsejafor (Delta/South) and later Thomas Ironsi(South) as State Defence minister. In the Interior Ministry was Sunday Afolabi from Osun state/South(1999-2003). Obasanjo would later split the Police Affairs Ministry from Interior Ministry. He appointed Southerner Broderick Bozimo(Delta) as Police Affairs Minister(2003-January 2007). He left the Interior Ministry for the North (Muhammed Shatta, Iyorcha Ayu and Muhammed Magaji). A Northerner (Gen Aliyu Gusau/Zamfara) was his National Security Adviser. President Musa Yar'adua Era In Yaradua's Tenure, his Defence Minister was Yahale Ahmed(Bauchi/North) and later Dr Shetimma Mustapha(North) with Demola Seriki(Lagos/South) as Minister of State For Defence. His Interior Minister was Major General Godwin Abbe(Edo/South). Yaradua, would later move Abbe to Defence Ministry(2009) while Dr Shetimma Mustafa moved to interior. The Police Affairs Ministry however remained in the North(Dr Lame). His National security Adviser was Abdulahi Muktar(Kano) President Ebele Jonathan's Era Under Jonathan, his Defence Ministers Hadiru Bello and Aliyu Gasau were Northerners. To maintain balance, he had Erelu Obada(Osun/South) and Musliu Obanikoro(Lagos/South) as his Minister of State for Defence for Bello and Gusau respectively. His Interior Minister was also from the North(Abba Moro/Benue) but he left Police Affairs Minister in the South; Navy Captain Caleb Olubode(Ekiti) and Jelili Adesanyan. His NSA were late Andrew Azaz (Bayelsa/Southi) and Sambo Dasuki (Sokoto/North) President Buhari Moved ALL To North Buhari however FAILED to recognise this balance in sharing of security cabinet portfolios. After merging the Police Affairs with the Interior Ministry, one naturally expect the South to get either the Interior or Defence Ministry. But Buhari pushed both Ministries to the North with Alhaji Dan Ali(Zamfara/North West) and Abdulramman Dambazau(Kano/North West) assigned to Defence and Interior(Police Affairs + Interior) ministries respectively. More troublesome is the fact that there are no positions for Minister of State for both ministries. As it stands, we have NO Southerner in any of the security decision making cabinet organ under this APC Buhari administion. Let me explain; The Office of National Security Adviser is in charge of DSS, NIA, DMI etc. It is occupied by Gen Muguno(North East) The Minister of Defence oversees the Armed Forces(Army, Navy and Airforce). It is occupied by Alhaji Ali(Zamfara/North West) The Interior minister oversees the Police Force, NSCDC, Prison Service, Immigration, Fire Service ane every other paramilitary services. It is occupied by Abdulrahman Dambazau(Kano/North West) All three positions are domiciled in the North(2 NW and 1 NE) with no space for the South. Not even Minister of state/"Deputy" was kept for the South. The action of Buhari-led APC government to marginalise the South from the security scheme of things in Nigeria is the height of unpatriotism, sectionalism, and should be condemned by all lovers of unity and Nigeria. May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria 32 Likes 7 Shares |

Chief Wailer, listen to Abraham Lincoln: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". If Buhari had not kept Defence and Interior ministries in the North, he would surely have needed to keep some of the juicy ones given to South in the North which would still have made you wail beyond what you're currently doing: Ministries in the South: Power, Works, Housing, Health, Solid Minerals, Finance, Budget and Planning, Petroleum, Transportation, Industry, Trade and Investment, Labour and Employment, Science and Technology, Foreign Affairs, Niger Delta, and Communications. The North only has few Class A ministties as follows: Agriculture, Education, Interior, Defence and Justice; with the rest being junior ministers. Now, tell us which of those class A ministries in the South you would have switched with Defence and Interior to make you SHUT UP? You're a broken record already boy. 122 Likes 6 Shares |

Montaque: I support you ooo but, the way nigerians are, any one who is in a position will bring all his relatives and town members to come and occupy other offices where he is, and before u know it they will be more people employed from were these people come from while other regions will be carrying files looking for job. these is why u see people crying and wanting their tribes men to be in some offices so they wont be shortchanged. these attitude is found in almost all nigerians. and am telling u these, it will take the south a long time to recover. they are competent people all over nigeria, even if u must appoint 100% notherners try as much as possible not to make others feels less important or making it look like they is no competent people in the south 1 Like |

Montaque:There is nothing like "competence" in the appointment. Are you saying that NO southerner is competent enough to handle Interior and Defence ministries? Or you think we don't know that the Defence ministry get the highest budgetary allocation? Not even a minister of state of either ministry was created for southerners. This is in addition to the office of National Security Adviser that went to the North. Is Buhari not the one promoting sectionalism? 4 Likes |

JigsawKillah: i know, but is it some states whose ministers are without portfolio that are duly represented. i pray the president succeed but i don't want him to start a trend that might likely continue, if after appointing his kitchen cabinet he told us he needs people he can trust and his supporters said it was based on merit, a lot of people argued and finally they let the matters to rest. personally i believe they are people the president can trust from all geopolitical zone and they are competent people all round, if also in defense the south feels its not represented then its wrong am just stating these for posterity, because we all know that if 2moro we have a southern president who reciprocate what the president is doing now they will be riot in the north and lives would be lost. personaly am fine whit any appointment the president wish to make and i don't care about where they come from, but will north be peaceful 2moro if another president does same to them? |

Thank you Tonye for pointing out this fact. Most Nigerians were simply fooled by the red carrot that was dangled in front of their noses. The power works and housing nonsense made most Nigerians to close their eyes to the obvious fact. The President yesterday delivered a master stroke in his plans to usurp and destroy our democracy. Nigerians seem to forget that with the inception of the TSA and the zero budget policy has turned such juicy ministers into redundant stooges. The sack of 18 perm.secs was the icing on the cake, because the new Perm.secs will act as spies and defacto heads of the ministries. The only positions the President saw as pivotal to his plan are the defence portfolios and the oil ministry. This is the same scenario that has been playing on for decades, the north dangle the private sector in front of our noses and then opt for the gun which is the most fundamental instrument in governance. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
