Presidency Refutes Claims of Tinubu’s Bias in Security Appointments

Tinubu’s Security Appointment Controversy: Presidency Clears the Air

The Presidency has responded to allegations that President Bola Tinubu is favoring the Yoruba people in security appointments, stating that such claims are unfounded.

The denial comes amid growing concerns regarding regional representation in Nigeria’s security architecture, particularly following recent appointments that some critics argue disproportionately favor the South-West region.

Officials emphasized that the President’s decisions are based on merit and the need for effective governance, rather than ethnic or regional considerations.

They reiterated the administration’s commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that all regions of the country are represented in key positions, particularly in security roles that are crucial for national stability.

This clarification aims to address public sentiments and concerns regarding perceived biases in appointments, highlighting the ongoing discussions about equity and representation in Nigeria’s leadership landscape.
