Appointments: I Will Not Behave Like Buhari- Tinubu

Bola Ahmed Tinubu has disclosed that his style of governance will be different from the outgoing president Muhammadu Buhari.

He said he will ensure that each zone gets what is entitle to it, as his government will not marginalise any part of the country.

His comment, according to those watching the polity, is a veil reference to the Buhari administration which has been accused of favouring a section of the country with government appointments and provision of infrastructure.

Tinubu spoke on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers state while he was a guest of Nyesom Wike, the state governor.

The president-elect who is billed to take power on May 29 said he will try as much as possible to avoid the mistake of Buhari, who has been accused of marginalizing some parts of the country in terms of appointments into government.

After taking power in 2015, President Buhari famously said his government will focus more on the parts of the country that gave him more votes in terms of government appointments and development.

“I hope you have a copy of the election results. The constituents, for example, gave me 97% [of the vote] cannot, in all honesty, be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me 5%,” the president said while answering questions At The US Institute Of Peace.

Not a few Nigerians condemned the President for making what they described as divisive comments.

Tinubu said he will not thread this path after becoming president later this month.

He said his government will enthrone equity, fairness, and justice, necessary to unite Nigerians to move the country forward.

I will not marginalise any region, but will leave legacy projects across the length and breadth of Nigeria,” Tinubu said during the two day visit to the state.
