The ruling All Progressives Congress has said President Bola Tinubu has been fair to all regions of the country regarding appointments to key offices.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made this statement on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
PUNCH Online reports that Tinubu has been criticised for not being fair to the North and South East in his recent appointments.
However, Morka appealed for calm, noting that many offices have yet to be filled and more appointments are forthcoming.
Morka stated, “President Tinubu is trying to be fair. We have some fairness in the key offices.”
The APC spokesman said it was premature for critics of the ruling party to express disapproval of the President’s appointments.
He continued, “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 are more to come.
“We have the President, we have the Vice President. We have the defence, we have the finance. 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.
“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.”
