Appointments: Lai Mohammed Comes To Buhari’s Defence

The national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lai Mohammed, has denied reports that some members of the party were disappointed over the appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Mohammed, who spoke on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, August 31, it was too early to judge Buhari’s administration based on the few appointments made so far.

He said the party was happy about the appointment and were strongly behind the president.

Buhari’s latest appointment last Thursday was said to have been greeted with extreme repugnance by leaders of the APC.

Mohammed expressed optimism that the president will make the right decision on appointments and also be gender friendly.

The APC secretary stated that future appointments will be different.

He also said the calculation and permutation by Nigerians on who the President will appoint is wrong, adding, “There should be no fixation on any particular office, going to any particular part of the country. The fact that it went to a particular part of the country in the previous administration, does not mean it will go there in this present administration.”

According to him, Nigerians should be focused on the assurance from the government that no part of the country will feel marginalised by the kind of appointments that would be made at the long run.

Mohammed added that the entire manifesto of the APC is youth centered.

Buhari’s appointments so far has sparked a lot of controversy in the country. A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi state, Chief Abia Onyike, had described Buhari’s appointments as a ploy by the president to Northernise Nigeria.

A group under the auspice of Muhammadu Buhari and Osinbajo Dynamic Support urged Nigerians to look beyond ethnic line of those who have been appointed so far.
