President Mohammadu Buhari is set to
swear-in the newly appointed secretary to the government of the
federation (SGF) Babachir David Lawal.
The swearing-in ceremony according to Vanguard, is billed to start anytime soon at the presidential villa, will also feature other newly appointed presidential aides.
The recent appointments by President Buhari have drawn criticism from southerners who accuse the president of falling short of the ‘federal character’ that he preaches, the north has also been unsettled over allegations that the president is trying to favour one part of the north above the other.
These recent appointments by Buhari brings the total number of his appointees to 30, with only seven of them coming from the southern part of the country and the rest from the north.
Recall that President Buhari approved some appointments last week Thursday, August 27. He approved Babachir David Lawal as chief of staff to the president, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) as new comptroller-general, Nigerian customs service; Mr. Kure Martin Abeshi comptroller-general, Nigerian immigration service, Senator Ita S.J. Enang as SSA to the president on national assembly matters (Senate) and Hon. Suleiman A. Kawu as SSA to the president on national assembly matters (House of Representatives).
