Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Femi Adesina, has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari's Appointments considered other factors than federal character.
Mr Adesina, while speaking with Seun Okin on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics said the Presidency’s perspective to the debates over the concept of federal character which many Nigerians believe has not been fairly followed by President Buhari’s appointments.
Mr Adesina, while admitting that the appointments are indeed more in some regions, explained that appointment is an ongoing process in governance and more appointments would still be made.
The appointment of security chiefs seems to have generated even more controversy. So also is the makeup of the President’s key staff.
Mr Adesina explained that the case of security chiefs is a peculiar one because hierarchy has to be followed in such appointments.
“When it is the turn of a person to hold a certain office and you say because he is from a certain region you then bypass him for another person, you have been unfair to that person and also to the system.
“The security system often times operate on hierarchy and efficiency. So if you have a senior person who is also efficient and because he comes from a certain region, you bypass him, I think you are being unjust and unfair to somebody,” he said.
