The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) says comments from Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu has been making appointments in a lopsided manner is false.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka who stated this while featuring as a guest on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television says it is natural for the president to appoint those he knew and has worked well with him in the past into his government.

Citing the example of a chef, Morka said any leader elected into office will always appoint a cook who has been making his food for a long time rather than appointing a new one.

“From the beginning of time, not just in our country but any country in the world, your cook is most likely a cook that has cooked for you in a long time. People tend to make appointment while in office in a way that mirrors their overall worldview and experience”.

“You just mentioned that under Buhari, we saw a lot of appointments that are lopsided. You called it lopsided but it’s the nature of things”.

“In this government, I think that President Tinubu is trying to be fair and this is a government that has just done one year in office; that is yet to even exhaust all of the opportunities for people to be invited to serve in this government”.

There are so many offices that are yet to be filled. If you noticed, last week Ajuri, the presidential spokesman made a release of flurry of appointments. So, there is more to come. I have always said that we can’t just simply stop at a junction and then begin to make these assessments as though it’s all done and said. It’s not all done”.

Buhari shared appointments between the North and SW and sidelined every other regions. Other regions didn't cry foul. Tinubu is sidelining the north in key political appointments. Now it's the turn of the North to cry foul while other southern regions are just looking and observing.

One Nigeria indeed

COMRADES, I listened to that programme with dismay and disbelief on channels when I heard that nonsense

Oga Tinubu dey try balance im appointments for APC.

Great to see Tinubu prioritizing merit over party loyalty, unlike PDP's history of cronyism and corruption.

Tinubu doesn't listen to critics, he's focused on building a better Nigeria.

Hehehe! Tinubu is simply living to his following the inglorious legacies of the disastrous Buhari government in continuing with the nepotism. Only that this time around, the SW is filling the slots too. Make una continue. The regions who have bastardized this nation truly know themselves.

Yeah! It is obvious! Rewarding all his criminal-by-default protégés from Godswill Akpabio, Bello Matawalle, Atiku Bagudu, particallsan APC-INEC RECs, to the legendary babanriga dollar bribe stuffing Gandollar and the well known COVID-19 Scamdemic palliative crook. Well, nothing new! Everyone associated with the druggie must be a criminal by default. That has been his trademark from time immemorial. Next!
