Jonathan's Appoinment: Countering The Deceit Of Some Northern Element by Nobody: 10:03pm On Jul 05, 2015 |
There is this deliberate attempt by a section of the North to justify the "Northocratic" appointments by Muhammadu Buhari. It is on record that 8 of the 9 appointments made by Buhari are Northerners. To justify the ethnocratic act of the President, some persons selectively and maliciously singled out a few positions held by Southerners under Jonathan to justify Buhari's Northocratism. Nigeria FG has over 500 Departments and Agencies that one can't be listing all of them at a go. However, I took my time and painstakingly singled out some Ministries and Agencies and listed the heads of these agencies plus their geopolitical zone. NATIONAL ECONOMY Chairman National Planning Commission- Namadi Sambo(North) Min of National Planning- Shamshudeen Usman (North) Finance Minister- Okonjo Iwaela (South) MD National Deposit Insurance Commission- Alj Umaru Ibrahim (North) Commissioner National Insurance Commission -Fola Daniel (SW) DG Sec Exchange Commission - Aruma Otteh (South) Mounir H. Gwarzo (North/Incumbent) C-G Nigeria Custom- Abdulahi Dikko (North) DG Budget Office- Bright Okogwu (SS/Appointed by Yar'adua) Exec Chairman FIRS- Kabir Mashi (North) 2012-March 2015 Mr. Samuel Ogungbesan (South/March 2015) Chairman Investment and Sec Tribunal- Dr Ngozi Chianakwalam (SE) Accountant-General- Mr. Jonah Ogunniyi Otunla (SW) CEO NEXIM Bank- Robert Orya (South) MINERAL RESOURCES Min of Mines and Steel (Solid Mineral)- Musa Mohammed Sada(North) DG Nigeria Cardastal Office- Malam Mohammad Amate (North) DG Geological Survey of Nigeria- Alex Ndubuisu (SE) Minister of Petroleum- Mrs Alison Madueke (SS) Executive Secretary PTDF: Dr. Oluwole Oluleye/Femi Ajayi (2 South West) Executive Secretary Petroleum Equalisation Fund (PEF) - Asabe Ahmed (North) Exec Secretary PPPRA- Mr Farouk Ahmed (North) GMD NNPC - Andrew Yakubu/Joseph Dawha (2 North) , DG Nigeria Nuclear Regulatory Authority- Dr Martin Ogharandukun/Lawrence Anikwe (2 South) / SECURITY National Security Adviser- Gen Aliyu Gusau/Col Sambo Dasuki (2 North) Gen Iwoye Azazi (SS) Min of Defence- Alh Haliru Bello/Aliyu Gusau (2 North) Min of Police Affairs- Caleb Olubode/Adesina Delili(2 SW) Chief of Defence Staff- Sa'ad Ibrahim/Alex Badeh (2 North) Oluseyi Pitinrin (SW) Chief of Army Staff- Keneth Minimah/Azubuike Ihejirika (SS/SE) Chief of Naval Staff- Usman Jibrin/Sa'ad Ibrahim (2 North) Joseph Ezeoba (South) Chief of Air Staff- Muhammed Umar/Alex Badeh (2 North) Adesola Amosun (SW) Inspector General of Police- Hafiz Rigim/MD Abubakar/Abba Suleiman (3 North) Solomon Arase (SS) DG National Intelligence Agency- Olaniyi Oladeji/Ayo Oke (SW) DG State Security Service- Ita Ekpeyong (SS) ANTI-CORRUPTION Chairman EFCC- Ibrahim Lamorde (North) Chairman ICPC- Ekpo Itan (South) REGIONAL FCT Minister- Bala Muhammed (North) ND Minister- Elder Godsday Orubebe (SS) In addition to the above, Jonathan's appointed Chairman of INEC Atahiru Jega is from Kebbi state (North). The Attorney General under Jonathan Muhammed Adoke is a Northerner. A cursory look at Jonathan's appointment will convince any doubter that the North were one of the major beneficiaries. It is unfair for a section of the North to propagate falsehood in their bid to justify the Northocratic appointments of President Buhari. I will be glad to entertain anyone that can name ANY sector that GEJ marginalised the North. NOTE: When two different people from same zone occupy one position, I use / to separate them. 33 Likes 7 Shares |

AhmedMustapha:Òga Federal Character may or may not be enforced by the government in power except where speccified (eg min number of Ministers per state). How many of GEJ appointees were from his Bayelsa state? how many are Ijaws? Which key sector was the North marginalised? What GEJ did was to give fair sharing of office. In fact only the Yorubas can complain of "not getting enough" among the r majority ethnic groups. 9 Likes |

Let's just wait till he appoints his ministers |
Re: Jonathan's Appoinment: Countering The Deceit Of Some Northern Element by Nobody: 11:19pm On Jul 05, 2015 |
wealthyguyman: The OP is employing psychology or sophistry to manipulate gullible folks. Why do you have SE, SS, and SW without corresponding NE, NW, NC? Also, if there are as many as 500 departments and agencies, it would be erroneous to make an inference based on mere nine appointments. What trend can one see in nine out of about a thousand appointments to make? Your representative sample (about 45 appointments) is also too small and flawed to make any meaningful inference. In addition, many of those names listed are ministers which the president is duty bound, constitutionally, to appoint from their states. It doesn't matter who is ruling, Delta state, for instance must produce a minister. Indeed, all states must produce a minister. Therefore, listing names of ministers to prove impartiality is puerile. Why not wait till Buhari constitute his cabinet and see if he only appoints northerners? GEJ was a divisive president who never missed an opportunity to advertise his tribalism. Even at a point, OP condemned GEJ's glaring celebration of tribalism. Hear him here: barcanista:And this barcanista: It's laughable to think a first class tribalist like GEJ could also be described as an impartial president. Some of the reasons he couldn't carry the entire South were not just because he ran a clueless, corrupt and incompetent government, part of them included his glaring tribalism. Nigeria is more than North-South contraption, just because GEJ didn't marginalize the north does not automatically mean he didn't marginalize others even in the South. One man's nationalist can easily be another's tribalist. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

So out of the numerous positions you listed PMB have only made 9 appointments 8 of which are northerners. Whycn't you just wait for him to finish appointing before you start raining fire and brimstone? Patience is a virtue you know barcanista. 2 Likes |

bayooooooo:The topic you quoted was reaction to GEJ's "Igbos are the pillars of my administration" comment. It has nothing to do with appointment. On why I distinguised SE/SS and SW, it is because the argument employed by you guys was that GEJ morginalised the North and you lumped SE/SS/SW as one and the whole North as one. You guys should distinguish yourself. North is North, I want you to name ANY sector and I will tell you the Minister and Parastatals Heads that were appointed by GEJ. 9 Likes |
