Buhari’s appointment based on merit – Oshiomhole



Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has urged Nigerians to encourage the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to confront the problems militating against the nation by appointing persons based on merit and not ethnicity.

Oshiomhole stated this while commending the President on the appointments of the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation and others made so far, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria.



According to Oshiomhole, “The Nigerian nation has come to a point where we have to use the best hands to confront the peculiarity of our problems.

It is not all the time we descend to the level of geopolitical balancing; we need to employ unusual methods to solve an unusual problem. The level of decay in the country at present requires very seasoned hands and incorruptible Nigerians that will help translate the APC agenda of change for the benefit of all Nigerians.

“We must not reduce governance to political patronage of bread and butter.

 The governor congratulates the Chief of Staff, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Comptroller General of Customs, all of who he had very close relationship with and whose credentials stand tall among their compeers. He wishes them well in their new jobs of helping to sanitize a system that has become so rotten and corrupt as a result of manifest incompetence and mismanagement.”

  4. Am so surprised that even Oshomole has become a real political harlot who has sold his conscience of labor days to selfish interests.
    Is Buhari, Adams and co trying to tell us that it is only the northerners that are competent and trust worthy to work with. Why did they not rely on the northern votes only to climb the throne of leadership.
    If Buhari is not cautioned this early time, he will do worst even to appoint only Muslims (BH) all in the name of who he can trust.
    Where is the wisdom of the biblical "wise men from the east". GMB should watch it.

  6. Was it based on federal character and rotational presidency that brought gmb to power
    The North insisted that it was their turn to produce the next president and out of desperation buhari said that dogs and baboons will be soaked in his blood if they fail to clinch to power. How then will they throw away federal character at the alter of merit? If they want to follow merit, WAEC, NDA, JAMB, CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION etc should follow suit and everybody's certificate must be verified. They should do away with educationaly disadvantaged states. If it is by merit, GEJ and GMB who is more qualified?
