Tinubu building structure for 2027 reelection. Not like this appointment will benefit the common man in any way.
Tinubu needs to do better. He is breaking our hearts.

All these board chairman tales to divert attention from Tinubu's nepotism. Fact still remains that a Ronu is in charge of CBN, FIRS, MOFI, Customs and now NNPCL.

Musa Kida is a known name for those who are ballers of basketball. I came to hear that name during my days of learning and playing basketball from 1994 to 2008 being on and off the court.

Very sharp guy. I've worked for him before. Probably from Niger because his French was too fluent.

You are 💯% right. My concern with them is that if it happens to other tribes, they will be the ones shouting nepotism. I remember in the days of G. E. J, that was their noise. But since APC came in and the table changed, you don't hear them talk about nepotism again. When Shetima will show them sege after 2031, noise about nepotism will start again.
