Editor’s note: President Muhammadu Buhari
has been criticised for his ‘lopsided
appointment’ that has seen persons from the
northern part of the country.
In this opinion by Azuka Onwuka, he points
out that a one-sided appointment is likely to
create a crack in the country and make on
region stronger than the other.
