Buhari Runs Northern Government? SEE All His Appointments So Far

Buhari Runs Northern Government? SEE All His Appointments So Far
                       Buhari Under Fire Over Recent Appointments



President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed 6 more key officials of his government on August 27, Thursday.
The new appointments caused outrage among Nigerians over suggestions that Buhari is  favouring people from the Northern Nigeria.

His critics have characterized his appointments as overpoweringly lopsided, lacking in gender balance and regional equity.
The six officials brought to 29 the total number of government personnel who will handle the economy, energy, defence and other important sectors of governance for the nearly 100-day-old Buhari government.
Buhari has yet to name a single female, a noticeable difference from his immediate predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, who had women in all main sectors of administration.
That has infuriated not a few pro-democracy and gender activists across the country. But what has worried critics more is the seeming lack of regional balance in the appointments, a failing Buhari has been forcefully condemned for in the past.
In violation of federal law the president has appointed by far more persons from Nigeria’s northern region where he hails.
Under the Third Schedule of the Constitution, the administration must enable “the principles of proportional sharing of all bureaucratic, economic, media and political posts at all levels of government”.

Ambode Reverses Fashola's Land Allocations
The gale of reversals of the Babatunde Fashola government seem to be in full gear as Governor Akinwunmi Ambode today reversed the allocation of over 25 plots of land by Fashola to his alleged cronies in high-brow Lekki. 
A report by The Cable revealed that the allocated lands were approved by the former military administrator of Lagos state, Brigadier Buba Marwa to be a site for the Lagos State Water Corporation (LSWC) in 1998. The certificate of occupancy of the land was subsequently signed by former governor Bola Tinubu, in 2006.

EXCLUSIVE: Gani Adams Blasts Tinubu, APC, Over Fashola


The national coordinator of pan Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Mr Gani Adams, has accused the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, of attempts to tarnish the image of the immediate past governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola, over Fashola’s alleged ministerial appointment.
Speaking exclusively to Naij.com, Adams said the bring-him-down moves of Tinubu and the APC in Lagos against Fashola would backfire. He likened Fashola as a beautiful bride and wondered why Tinubu would not be happy at the level of success his successor achieved.
