The Federal Government has refuted claims of lopsidedness in appointments, stating that social media noise on the issue was needless.
A statement by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the federation (OSGF) on Friday emphasized its unwavering commitment to the principles of fairness, equity, and national unity.
“All appointments are made in strict adherence to federal character principle, as enshrined in Section 14 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as Altered).
“It is notable to mention that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu believes strongly in the unity of Nigeria and is guided by the ideals of fairness and tenets of justice in all appointments. This Administration is dedicated to ensuring that all regions and demographics of the country are adequately represented in its institutions and agencies,” the statement, signed by Segun Imohiosen, Director, Information and Public Relations, added.
“The OSGF therefore, urges the public to disregard unfounded speculations and rely on official government sources for accurate information. The government remains steadfast in its pursuit of a prosperous, united and equitable Nigeria, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of this Administration. Pokers of embers of hate and disunity who carry tendentious and unfounded allegations should never be taken seriously by Nigerians.”
Inquiries with respect to this matter can be channeled through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation which is the official custodian of such appointments.
