THE following list of appointments released from the office of SSA to the President on Public Engagement, Sunday Dare will put to rest allegation of lopsided appointments by President Bola Tinubu.
From the list, the North took the lion share of 71 while the entire South got 63 appointments out of 134 nationwide.
President Tinubu and Appointments by Sunday Dare
On this issue of appointments by the Tinubu administration, it is important to state that President Bola Tinubu is a detribalised leader.
His antecedents before he even became president speak to this fact.
As Lagos State Governor, President Tinubu populated his government with competent hands both from within and outside Lagos not minding which tribe you come from.
As President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the same man who is not blinded by the cloak of tribe or religion. He understands that the mandate he won is from the six geopolitical zones of the country and therefore knows that he bears the responsibility to carry every section along to build a very strong nation.
People tend to isolate new appointments so far made by the President to examine them with a tribal lens but it is too early to conclude that appointments are lopsided.
Tinubu has barely completed two years in office yet, there are plenty more appointments still coming.
In fact, a more expansive view of key federal appointments across major government institutions and agencies shows that the President is on the right track as far as Federal character is concerned.
A glance at this list of 134 Federal appointments shows that the Northern part of this country has a total of 71 appointments compared to 63 for the entire South.
