The recent appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday caused an uproar among Nigerians home abroad, as some Nigerians tagged the current government ethnic bigot, who is only interested in Northerners getting all the important posts in the country.
The recent appointments that caused the uproar includes ;
Engr. Babachir David Lawal - Secretary to the Government of the Federation
Alhaji Abba Kyari - Chief of Staff to the President
Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) - Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service
Mr. Kure Martin Abeshi - Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service
Senator Ita S.J. Enang - SSA to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate)
Hon. Suleiman A. Kawu - SSA to the President on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives)
The new chief of staff appointment, Alhaji Abba Kyari, angered a lot of Nigerians as they expressed their frustration on the president for only giving Northerners the job, because he is from the same region, and would have been better with a Southerner or someone from the Eastern part of the country.
From Doynews little finding, it seems Nigerians are still holding the grudge against the new president for removing the former president who many claimed, distributed the appointments accross different regions and not focused on the North.

Looks like their is nothing wrong in the current appointment of Muhammadu Buhari, and some people that had some hatred for the President are using their social media presence to spread unecessary news.
Nigerians should focus on getting the country to a new pLace and make the country more standard than it used to be, criticizing appointments should not be Nigerians, especially the youths problem.
Nigerians must stay together, though tribes and tongue may differ, but in brotherhood, Nigerians will achieve a lot.
