Human Right Lawyer, Festus Keyamo, voice his opinion over the uproar generated by the Buhari's recent appointments.
In his statement he said, Nigerian are only Interested in Good governance,not ethnicity of appointee, he points at jobless politicians who solely depends on Government appointment to survive.
“The so-called ‘uproar’ over the perceived ‘lopsided’ appointments made so far by President Buhari is nothing but an orchestrated frustration of a few jobless politicians who depend only on government appointments as their means of livelihood and, of course, the noise of the latest opposition party in town,” said Mr. Keyamo.
Mr Keyamo added that the general division of government position into Juicy and Non juicy, is worrisome,as people insist the juicy position must be shared among major ethnic group.
“To my mind, all government appointments pose an equal challenge to those appointed as a call to higher service of fatherland,” Mr. Keyamo said.
“All public positions come with an equal responsibility to be honest, forthright and dedicated. To go further to classify them as ‘juicy’ or ‘non-juicy’ is just a euphemism for positions that have enough money from which to steal and those that ‘dry.’
“Therefore, any agitation from a section of the country to get ‘juicy’ positions is only an agitation for their kinsmen to be appointed to steal enough from which they would benefit.”
Mr. Keyamo condemned the uproar that greeted the appointments, saying that all sections of the country should be happy with whatever position the president deems fit to offer their kinsmen.
“After all, the President still has a long way to go with appointments. He has not even filled up to five percent of available positions,” Mr. Keyamo said.
