The All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been fair and equal to all regions in the country in making key appointments.
Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary of the APC, stated this while appearing as a guest on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.

The spokesman of the ruling party shut down claims by some Northern figures that Tinubu’s administration has been guilty of giving preferential treatment to some zones.

Morka added that it was too early to be accusing the president of nepotism, claiming those criticising the president are political detractors.

He said:

“President Tinubu is trying to be fair. We have some fairness in the key offices.

“And 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 is 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.”
