A former House of Representatives Minority Leader, Dr Wunmi Bewaji, has observed that the appointments made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are not lopsided contrary to insinuation in some quarters.
Bewaji, who is the executive secretary, Coalition of Democrats for Electoral Reforms, noted that some of the appointments were for personal aides which would naturally go to those the president had worked with before.
He spoke in a chat with Daily Trust yesterday against the backdrop of comments in some quarters that Tinubu’s appointments were concentrated in Yoruba land.
He said, “People who are saying Tinubu’s appointments are lopsided have forgotten that during Jonathan’s era, the entire South West had no substantive minister.
“All the ministers in the South West during the Jonathan era were ministers of state. People have forgotten that and I don’t even see any lopsidedness here. If you look at service chiefs, it is fairly balanced, if you look at ministers, it is balanced.
“There are some appointments which have to do with personal staff, like personal assistants and stuff like that. These are people who might have been Z you overtime even before you entered into office.”
