NIGERIA: APPARENTLY suggesting an acceptance of the lopsidedness in the larger chunk of the appointments made so far in favour of the Northern part of the country by the president, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity has assured of “balance in the future.”

President Muhammadu Buhari, besides previous appointments which generated outcry, on Thursday made new appointments, which many believed were tilted towards the north.

The Special Adviser, Femi Adesina, who made the announcement on Thursday, said that Buhari had appointed Engr. Babachir David Lawal as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Alhaji Abba Kyari as his Chief of Staff.

Other appointments announced included Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali as the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service and Mr. Kure Martin Abeshi to preside as the new Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service.

Buhari also appointed Senator Ita S.J. Enang and Hon. Suleiman A. Kawas as his Senior Special Advisers on National Assembly Matters for Senate, and House of Representatives respectively.  Only Enang is from the south, while others are from the North.

But while speaking on Ray Power 100.5 FM on Friday, Adesina said: “Nobody can fault the fact that the persons appointed were appointed on merits.”

“In terms of the spread, the President has prerogative to appoint and he knows there is federal character,” the special adviser said, adding: “I am sure that there will be balance in the future. These are still early days. At the end of the day, we will have a balance.”

Adesina, however, assured: “By the time more appointments are made, it will balance out. The President is trying to get the very best of Nigerians.

“The issue of key positions and no key positions should not be the issue. He gave a deadline of September for the appointment of ministers and he will keep to it.”
