In an attempt to address concerns about alleged biased appointments, the Presidency, through Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, has revealed a comprehensive list of the President’s appointments so far. Discrepancies in Appointment Numbers: South West and South East The revealed list shows that the South West has 29 appointees, contrary to the 24 previously stated by Dare. Notably, Femi Gbajabiamila, appointed as the Chief of Staff on June 2, 2023, was missing from the list, sparking questions about his status. Additionally, the South East region appears to have fewer appointees compared to other regions. Notably, the South West and North West regions, where President Tinubu hails from, have secured the highest proportion of key appointments, including influential positions. Here is the full list of the President’s appointments to date: South West Appointees: North Central Appointees: North East Appointees: North West Appointees: South South Appointees: South East Appointees: Regional Discrepancies and Controversies While the South West holds a strong representation, with many key positions filled by officials from the region, the South East has fewer appointments, leading to concerns about equitable representation. Additionally, the prominence of the South West in “juicy” positions has raised questions about political balancing across regions. The apparent imbalance in the appointments has fueled debates about the need for fair representation and the broader political strategy behind these choices. Final Thoughts on Tinubu’s Appointments The list of President Tinubu’s appointments reveals much about the political dynamics within the current administration. While some regions are heavily represented, others remain underrepresented, contributing to the ongoing conversation about the fairness of these appointments.
