'Nepotism Pro-Max’: Six Of Tinubu’s Last 10 Appointees Are From South-west by Good2go1: 8:53am On Jul 19
Nigerians have come down hard on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the lopsidedness in his political appointments. He is being accused of continuing from the nepotism of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari after making 10 new appointments, six of which favoured his South West region.

The trend of his lopsided appointments to favour the Yoruba ethnic nationality has been obvious since he became President on 29th May, 2023, but it has become more pronounced.

Those who spoke to People&Politics on the issue describe it as act of ‘extreme nepotism’. According to Mr. Silas Ezebuenyi, the act not only favours the President’s region, it is specially targeted against the South-East region of the country which has received the least number of appointments under Tinubu.

Rukevwe Joyce, a banker who spoke on the recent appointments, calls it ‘nepotism pro-max’ considering that the nation has six geopolitical zones. She added that the President’s attitude is unacceptable as it is in breach of the federal character principle.

“And you know what?”, she enthused, “the South-West has systematically taken all the juicy appointments in the country and the appointees are likely driving that same nepotism down the ladder in the various offices they are sent to head”.

Among the new appointees are; Mr Silas Agara (Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment), Umar Ibrahim Mohammed, (Director-General of the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency), Mr Baffa Dan Agundi, (Director-General of the National Productivity Centre), Cornelius Oluwasegun Adebayo, (Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority), Mr Saleh Abubakar, (Director-General National Agency for the Great Green Wall), Dr. Olufemi Adekanmbi, (Project Coordinator, Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project), Mr. Tosin Adeyanju, (Executive Secretary, National Lottery Trust Fund), Oluwaseun Faleye, (Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund), Mrs. Mojisolaoluwa Kehinde Alli-Macaulay, (Executive Director (Operations), Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund), Ms Omolola Bridget Oloworaran, (Director-General, National Pension Commission) and Mr Jobson Ewalefoh, (Director-General, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission).

Some of the appointments have also been criticized because of the characters involved.

The appointment of the former representative of Amuwo Odofin 1 Constituency at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mojisola Kehinde Alli-Macaulay, as the Executive Director of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), is one of such. She was accused of repackaging COVID-19 palliatives as birthday souvenirs in 2020.

Mrs. Alli-Macaulay
On social media, Nigerians have queried the lopsidedness of the appointments.

@HAHayatu said: “70% of appointments are now Yoruba and even in that 70% are Lagosians. Nepotism pro max. Buhari sef dey learn now.”

@EmmyPromise71 said: “What did President Tinubu want to achieve with nepotism in his government, for crying out loud? How can you make about 10 appointments in your government as the President of Nigeria and No Igbo men or women made the list? What kind of nepotism is this?”

@nonsook96346206: “10 appointments – 3 from the North and 7 from Yoruba. No single person from SS and SE that has over 95% of oil reserves and gas reserves. Tinubu should continue his yorubanization nepotism – history will remind him of it.”

@captainsterling said: “Na wa ooo for this administration’s defenders and supporters. I rise.”

@adeyanjudeji said: Tinubu just appointing Yoruba people all over the place. I miss Buhari. Tinubu is the worst president ever.”

The ibos are the most tribalistic tribe in Nigeria. Even Peter Obi the agulu fraud is the most tribalistic governor to ever govern a state in Nigeria. So tribal, that he even clamped down on Oshu ibos from other states.

Lol. Joker. People call the USA all sorts of names. Yet everyone wants to relocate to "the land of opportunities".

People disparage Americans all the time yet how many Americans seek anything from them rather than the other way round?

Now replace USA and Americans with SW and Yorubas. After that do your worst. Same as detractors can't do sh1t to the USA and Americans is the same as hateful Igbos like you can't do nada to the SW and Yorubas who don't need you for anything.

If Yorubas are so offensive then sideline them, leave their land and stay away from the SW. Stop talking emptily. Take action and let's see who suffers.

That troll is not Igbo! He’s a notorious Yoruba bigot that, together with all his alternate monikers and ilk, spends his entire logging on time on nairaland projecting his fears, hate and bigotry for all to see!

But seriously, knowing Tinubus’ crass greed; his penchant for using state wealth for enrichment of self, family and cronies; his approach to elections; and the Yorubacentric nature of his politics and business over the years…..knowing all this, can anyone of us say we really didn’t see this coming!? Even before Tinubu and Buhari before him snatched the keys to Aso-Rock, i knew just what to expect from their so called ‘presidency’, and i knew both rabid bigots will use their executive position to fulfil their lifetime ambition of ensuring the Igbo, especially, are cheated and shortchanged! So let’s not act surprised at the way things are panning out!

They don't even bother inspecting lists anymore. All they do, once Tinubu announce new appointees, is to automatically shout "Yorubanization".

Their actions betrays their not so subtle agenda of maligning Yorubas and demonising their image.

I hope you are not reffering to Lagos,Lagos was former capital and was built with our common patrimony just like Abuja,it is a 'no mans land',so deal with it.Nigeria invested heavily into it,just the way we are now investing in Abuja.Nigeria made sure that Lagos became not just the federal capital but also the financial and business capital,ensuring that the headquarters of all establishments in Nigeria was built there.So you lazy morons whom were either Omonile,street urchins or touts in those days when hard working men were fixing Lagos,are now shouting leave our Lagos.May be in few years time,the Gwari people of Abuja will start asking everyone to leave Abuja,that it belongs to them.

Awalokan!!! So people are taking census of appointments, I know it is the Bitter Obi supporters that would be complaining , Buhari did more than that etc.
These are parts of what some blind followers will be saying.
When PMB did it, I told some people that he laid a bad precedent for this country and this man that is there said he will start from where his predecessor stopped.
For those blaming those of us that are speaking against this, remember that the table will turn one day and you will be the one ranting.
Before you defend the undefendable action of the president, tell me how much you don earn for defending him, if your answer is none, may you receive sense.
