I am also a critic of President Muhammadu Buhari’s lopsided appointment, but with all sincerity, a northerner fits this position.
FADAMA is a farming practice mostly done in the north to irrigate their farms.
Southerners hardly do FADAMA cos of enough rainfall.

When criticizing the government, let us try to apply some senses before doing so.

Appointing a southerner to head FADAMA is tantamount to appointing a northerner to be the head of NDDC(Niger Delta Development Commision.

What about his appointment of a northerner to head NNPC and when his tenure expired, appointing another different northerner to continue? You think Buhari is the one making all these appointments? Abba Kyari likely takes the CV of the highest bidder to his office and asks him to sign his or her appointment!
