The presidency has revealed that Ogun State, with 21
appointments, leads others in the ranking of states from where CEOs of federal
agencies hail.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, debunking recent reports that said 81 of 100 appointments made by
President Muhammadu Buhari are people from Northern Nigeria, made the list
available.
He had released a statement describing the claim as “untrue
and certainly uncharitable.”
He said:
From all records, majority of the President’s appointees
across different portfolios are not from the North, as the publication
erroneously alleged.
If the publication did not have ulterior motives, a simple
enquiry from official sources in the Presidency would have prevented this
unwarranted public disinformation.
It must be stated clearly that, despite the distractions and
biased reportage of this article, President Muhammadu Buhari remains committed
to serving all Nigerians, no matter the tribe, ethnicity or region, and he is
also determined to ensure that Nigeria remains strong and united.
He has, and will continue to keep faith with one Nigeria and
has shown this with the administration’s diverse projects in different parts of
the country’s geopolitical zones.
In the report released, Ogun State leads with 21
appointments, and Imo and Kano states follow with 15 each.
Katsina, the home state of the president, and Edo State
share the 3rd position with 14 each, with Anambra, Kogi and Kwara states
following closely with 13.
