Ekiti State Governor Fayose said that Buhari is running Nigeria as a Northern president since been sworn -in May 29th.He tagged his actions as Northernization of Nigeria.he said“appointments made by the President so far negate the principle of federal character and it appears the
unity in diversity of Nigeria is being taken for granted by the President. Also In a statement by his Special Assistance on Public Communication and Media, Lere Olayinka
He asked; “Under Buhari, are people from Southern Nigeria only meant
to be hounded and harassed by anti-corruption agencies and the
Department of State Security (DSS) while those from the North are
meant to enjoy federal government juicy appointments?”

The governor said, “apart from the lopsided appointments being made by the
President, I am worried that construction of Lagos-Ibadan expressway
has been slowed down while work has stopped on Lokoja-Abuja roads,
which are the major roads linking the Southern part of Nigeria with

Also, we have been told by the Federal Government that the Second
Niger Bridge project has been suspended and one is now beginning to

“They said the President made the appointments on merit and I wish to

Congress (APC) in the Southern part of Nigeria, especially South-East
where no one has been appointed.

“Are they saying Igbo leader like Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, who graduated

northern president, thereby justifying his notion that those who gave
him 97 percent votes must get more benefits than those who gave him
five percent votes.”
