The Presidency has denied the allegation that the current istration is favouring the South West at the expense of other regions in of appointments in the security sector.

After the appointment of Major General Olufemi Oluyede as Acting Chief of Army Staff, many persons, especially on Social Media, accused President Bola Tinubu of “Yorubanisation”, a term which losely interprets as favouring the Yoruba.

Oluyede was appointed to stand in for General Tahoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Army Staff, who has been away from the country treating an undisclosed ailment.

Some Nigerian had argued that there were equally competent generals who could stand in for Lagbaja other than another person from the South West.

Apparently weighing into the conversation, Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to the President on Public Communications and Orientation, shared a list of the heads of security agencies appointed by Tinubu.

According to the list, the North West has the highest appointees (eight), followed by the South West (five) and North Central (four).

North East has three appointees, according to the presidential aide’s list, while South South and South East have one each.

“Facts do not lie. Below we see laid bare the facts about the regional outlook of President Tinubu’s appointments within 20 security agencies. The label of him favouring Yorubas in the Security set up does not fit. Nigeria we hail thee!,” Dare captioned the post.

Northerners use whatever position they get to enrich themselves and promote religion at the detriment of their people.

During Buhari istration, the northerners held over 85% of the leadership positions in the Nation's security architecture. Despite that, banditry was introduced into the woeful security situation.

Also, terrorist sects increased and even extended their base from the North East to North Central part of the country. They were almost gaining ground in the three southern regions if not for the people who rose against it.

It is about time for the northern youths to rise up and challenge the people plundering their future and looting the future of their generation unborn to develop the land of the Arabs who doesn't even see Africans as human.

Who the cap fit, let them wear it ...

The presidency or whosoever doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.
I detest hypocrisy with everything in me.
Where were they when Buhari filled all available posts with his tribesmen? Buhari really showed everyone how to use power, I kept saying it that the old man set a very bad precedent.

See how proud they are that South East and South South has one top ranked security officers each.
