THERE
was an outrage in the ruling All Progressives Congress on Thursday, over the
announcement of new appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Leaders
of the APC, complained that the appointments tilted in favour of the North and
said the party must move fast to cope with the backlash of expected rumblings
in the polity.
They
said that the President was already giving the party a bad name among Nigerians
and had hoped that he would learn from the criticisms that trailed his first
appointments where more northerners were appointed into sensitive positions
than southerners.
Buhari,
according to a statement by his Special Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Thursday approved the appointment of Babachir
David Lawal from Adamawa State as the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation.
He
also named Mr. Abba Kyari from Borno state as his Chief of Staff.
Adesina
said all the appointments would take immediate effect.
