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 pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
