The spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka has said that President Bola Tinubu has been fair to all sections of the country regarding appointments into key offices.
Morka asserted that it is too early for detractors of the ruling party to raise disapproving eyebrows against the President’s appointments.
He stated this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
Morka was responding to claims by some northern heavyweights alleging that the region was not properly represented in the president’s government.
He said, “President Tinubu is trying to be fair… We have some fairness in the key offices,”
“And this is a government that has just done one year in office, that has yet to even exhaust all of the opportunities for people to be invited to serve in this government. There are so many offices that are yet to be filled. There is more to come.
“We have the President, we have the Vice President. We have the defence, we have the finance. The defence is mostly staffed by people from the northern side while the minister of finance and the CBN governor are from the southern side.
“It’s always premature to make that assessment. Hold your breath till a lot of the key positions are filled.
“For those who want to make an issue of ethnicity, the President has the country as his constituency. The President is not the President of the South-West, or the North or the South; he is the President of Nigeria and every part of this country deserves to be effectively represented, consistent with the Federal Character flavour of our constitution.”
