Majority of those appointed by Buhari aren’t from north–Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina, spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, says
majority of the appointments made by his principal are not from the
north.

Adesina said this on Saturday while reacting to report that
majority of those appointed by Buhari are northerners.

The presidential spokesman also said despite the “biased
reportage”, Buhari is committed to serving all Nigerians.

“To claim, suggest or attempt to insinuate that the president’s
appointments are tilted in favour of a section of the country is
simply untrue and certainly uncharitable,” he said.

“From all records, majority of the president’s appointees across
different portfolios are not from the north, as the publication
erroneously alleged.

“If the publication did not have ulterior motives, a simple
enquiry from official sources in the presidency would have
prevented this unwarranted public disinformation.

“It must be stated clearly that, despite the distractions and
biased reportage of this article, President Muhammadu Buhari
remains committed to serving all Nigerians, no matter the tribe,
ethnicity or region, and he is also determined to ensure that
Nigeria remains strong and united.

“He has, and will continue to keep faith with one Nigeria and
has shown this with the administration’s diverse projects in
different parts of the country’s geo-political zones.”
