Presidency Refutes Claims of Favoritism in Security Appointments, Defends Tinubu’s Choices
The Nigerian Presidency has dismissed allegations that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is favoring the South West in recent security appointments.
Following Major General Olufemi Oluyede’s appointment as Acting Chief of Army Staff, social media accusations of “Yorubanisation” surfaced, suggesting an ethnic bias in the President’s selections.
Sunday Dare, the President’s Special Adviser on Public Communications and Orientation, addressed these claims by releasing a breakdown of regional representation among current security agency heads.
According to Dare, the North West holds the most appointments with eight representatives, followed by the South West with five, and the North Central with four.
Dare emphasized that these figures debunk the accusations of ethnic favoritism, asserting that the distribution of roles reflects a balanced approach.
Nigerian comedian Seyi Law takes to social media as he defends President Bola Tinubu. The comedian stated that the president has done a lot in his administration and claimed that Nigeria is safer and economically sound under his administration.
He then compared how things now to past years under the administration of others, and shared how things were bad. He claimed that now the economy is stabilized.
“Nigeria is safer now than 10 years ago. This government has killed more bandits than any government in Nigeria since the time of Jonathan. When last have you heard of bomb blast in Nigeria?”
It has been reported that fire occurred at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos (MMIA), Terminal 1. This fire incident occurred on Monday, 23rd of February, 2026.
