The All Progressives Congress (APC) political party has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been fair to all sections of the country in terms of critical appointments.
Mr. Felix Morka, an APC spokesperson, made the statement while refuting allegations of nepotism leveled by certain Northerners against President Tinubu’s administration.
He made this known while he was speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Mr. Morka said: “President Tinubu is trying to be fair. We have some fairness in the key offices.”
Mr. Morka also said it was premature for critics to express concerns about Tinubu’s appointments.
He continued: “And this is a government that has just done one year in office, that has yet to even exhaust all of the opportunities for people to be invited to serve in this government.”
“There are so many offices that are yet to be filled. There is more to come. We have the President, we have the Vice President. We have the defence, we have the finance.”
Also that, “The defence is mostly staffed by people from the northern side while the minister of finance and the CBN governor are from the southern side.”
“It’s always premature to make that assessment. Hold your breath till a lot of the key positions are filled.”
Further that, “For those who want to make an issue of ethnicity, the President has the country as his constituency.”
“The President is not the President of the South-West, or the North or the South; he is the President of Nigeria and every part of this country deserves to be effectively represented, consistent with the Federal Character flavour of our constitution,” he added.
