Appointers and the appointees
What is the outcome?

Mazi Tinubu is getting the message

Agaaaiinnn

Buhari appointed his Northerners from the far end of North-West to the Far end of North-East.

Tinubu clamored for Southern Presidency, the whole Governors of Southern origin had a meeting at Asaba which birthed the Asaba Declaration where we all agreed that Power must return to South.

The South was somewhat in unity on it.

Now Tinubu has become the president, but unfortunately the president for the South-West.

He is appointing mostly Yorubas, Southern Presidency indeed.

He should remember that Buhari was nepotic, but he opened his arm across the whole North.

But Tinubu doesn't want to open his arm across the whole South.

Quite unfortunate because this should be the turn of the South not just South-West.

Awa lokan

Hiss

Well deserved.

Round peg in round hole

Watin abokis go dey thick of now?

YorubaCracy

This is were Obasanjo showed his superiority. Pan-Nigeria appointments he made brought a variety of Nigerians from different ethnic groups to the spotlight

Absolutely nothing

What is the outcome?

In every new appointment, I'm always looking to see names like Yarimo, Seunmsg, freestuffng, Reno Omokri, leodking, etc. For all their hard work, these guys need to be rewarded with a ministry of their own

Sorry
Ndo

na, Tinubu is going overboard with Yorubanization of the country

Congrats to the customs controller general.
Tinubu is gradually overtaking his predecessor in appointing mostly his kinsmen to public offices while a major tribe is being left out of these appointments.
This is pure nepotism.

We look forward to your dispensations...

Na reopening of the border is the most important thing now... (Masses are suffering, mostly those @ the grassroot)
