This is how Nigeria has always been. Most appointments are from the part of the country the president hails from. When Goodluck Jonathan was there the SGF, Chief of Staff, NIMASA, were all from the South. The Deputy Senate President and Deputy Speaker were both from one zone, South-East, etc.

NIGERIANS WANTED ''CHANGE'' AND NOW WE HAVE GOT IT. NO-ONE SHOULD COMPLAIN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT OUR PEOPLE WANTED. THOSE OF US THAT WARNED THE COUNTRY THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN WERE INSULTED AND LAMPOONED. NOW WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR CHOICE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. WELCOME TO THE NEW NIGERIA. WELCOME TO ''CHANGE''.
Personally, I believe that Northerners are more sincere than Southerners. Ministers will come from all states but for the key appointments, the President must choose only people he can trust. Simple!
