The lopsidedness in Mr Buhari’s appointment, Mr Umar said, is more glaring in the leadership of the nation’s security services.
He mentioned to Mr Buhari some of the actions of former Nigerian leaders whom he said were able to rise above ethnic and sectional considerations to do what was right in the interest of the nation.
After his appointment by President Buhari as acting CJN on November 10, 2016, Mr Onnoghen’s confirmation was sent to the Senate three months after not by Mr Buhari, but by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who was the acting president then. He was sworn in by Mr Osinbajo, March 7, 2017. “As it is, the most senior Judge, Justice Monica Dongban Mensem, a northern Christian, is serving out her second three-month term as acting Chief Judge without firm prospects that she will be confirmed substantive head.
The lopsidedness in President Buhari’s appointments has been a regular subject of discourse among Nigerians. The president, for long, has appeared unmoved by criticism over the issue but has denied that his appointments are lopsided.Muhammadu Buhari, Sunday 30th May 2020Dear Mr. President,“One of the swiftest ways of destroying a Kingdom is to give preference of one particular tribe over another or show favor to one group of people rather than another.
At the same occasion, I counselled the declared winner, your good self, to use the opportunity of your second term to redeem your pledge of being a leader and president of all Nigerians. The corollary to this is that at the expiration of your 8-year tenure in 2023, your achievements will not be measured solely by the physical infrastructure your administration built. An enduring legacy would be based on those intangible things like how much you uplifted the spirit and moral tone of the nation. How well have you secured the nation from ourselves and from external enemies?
