The National Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will balance the federal appointment across all the geopolitical regions, saying the appointments made so far are his personal staff.
The APC national chairman therefore urged the aggrieved persons over the recent appointees to keep their cool.
Speaking yesterday in Abuja at the national secretariat of the APC when he received in audience a delegation from MBO Dynamic Support Group, led by its national coordinator, Hon. Usman Ibrahim.
Oyegun believed that there is a lot of fight back from the people who want to draw back the nation under Buhari administration.
Speaking on the uproar generated by the appointments made so far, Oyegun said: “There have been a lot of unfortunate misinformation and uproar against appointments at this stage. We have two set of appointments that have been taking place. One set are the personal privilege of Mr. President, as far as his personal staff are concern. The other set has to do with a few important and strategic persons that are going to help him either in the fight against corruption or the fight against insurgency in the North-east of our country, but this is not where to play the political balancing game. These are serious and the president has the right to appoint those he has confidence in because these are the areas where he has made promises to Nigerians.
“But we have thousands of political appointments and he has just made a few appointments while thousands are still waiting. The balancing must happen when the political appointment are been made but we must not at this particular point in time with the few appointments say that one must be from the North, one must be from South or from the east not at this very very stage.
“So, one must make that clear at this stage. Nobody, no leader can disadvantage any part of this nation, that will not happen.
On the anti-corruption feat of President Buhari government, he said: “If a particular group has ruled for 16 years, then who is guilty of corruption?
“And all the fight, witch hunting are neither here no there. What is important is that everybody who has a skeleton on his cupboard they are the ones who has something to fear, if you do not have any skeleton in the cupboard you go to sleep and sleep very sound but of course if you have you will pretend and try to divert attention.”
