President Buhari Discloses Why he Appointed More Northerners

                             

President Buhari who has been heavily criticized for his appointments so far,which were described as lopsided,finally breaks his silence  in an Interview with the BBC Hausa on Tuesday.
he explained that the constitution grant him the right to appoint his closest officials,giving assurance that he did sideline any section of the country,those he appointed according to him are some of the most trusted people he know.


“If they will do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian president, let them look at the Constitution a Nigerian president works with, there are people who will closely work with me that don’t need to be taken to the Senate.
“If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom we came all the way right from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in and I can trust them with any post, will that amount to anything wrong?
“I have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward of such dedication and suffering?
“They did not defect because of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments.
“What is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the federal government) because I have confidence that things will go normal?”
