The constitution allows my appointment + Reasons most of my appointments are from the North – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence on his appointments, which many Nigerians have described as “lopsided”.
Buhari in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday said the Constitution allowed him full control over the choice of his closest officials.
The president assured that he was not ignoring some section of his society in his appointments, explaining that those he appointed were some of his most trusted associates.
Responding to the interviewer’s question on the controversy generated by the appointments, Buhari said “This is the nature of Nigerian politics”.
“If they will do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian president, let them look at the Constitution a Nigerian president works with, there are people who will closely work with me that don’t need to be taken to the Senate.
“If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom we came all the way right from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in and I can trust them with any post, will that amount to anything wrong?
“I have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward of such dedication and suffering?
“They did not defect because of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments.
“What is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the federal government) because I have confidence that things will go normal?”
On the abducted Chibok girls missing since April 2014, Buhari said the Boko Haram sect had “have scattered them, and are being guarded at dispersed locations.
“Most of the girls are Christians and were forced to embrace Islam. And the sect’s cruel leaders have married some of the girls, obviously against their wish. Others have been left to practice their religion but their condition could hardly be ascertained.
“Both ground and air security personnel in the Sambisa forest could spot where the girls are, but since the insurgents have also kidnapped housewives and other women, no one could say whether they mixed them or how they dispersed them.”

The president of Pentecostal Ministers Forum of Nigeria,PMF, bishop Chidi Anthony has criticised the governor of Anambra state, Charles Soludo for placing a ban on market evangelism and preaching on the streets Anambra
Bishop Anthony was enraged and infuriated by Soludo’s daring and audacious move against men of God and preachers of the gospel in Anambra state “as the president of Pentecostal Ministers Forum of Nigeria, there’s no better time to speak than now, we were commanded to go into the world and preach the gospel without limitations, it’s a pity that Soludo has decided to fight the Almighty God that gave him breath,he must have read or heard of the story ofNebuchadnezzar who refused to acknowledge the supremacy of God,if Solodu truly acknowledges God as the creator of the entire universe and his own creator,who can take life out of someone at any time he wishes,he would not have made such obnoxious law against the people of God:Soludo is indirectly in contest with God without knowing”
He advised him to abolish the law with immediate effect because it’s capable of ruining and devastating everything he has ever achieved “governor Soludo God is a patient and a merciful, you need to stop that law from taking effect so that the wrath of God will not be kindled against you, don’t be an enemy of God because it will lead you to unforgettable and everlasting regret ”
Finally, he recapitulated that nobody can stop the gospel of Jesus Christ because those that tried to stop it never ended well “my dear governor,you need to retrace your steps and stop fighting the gospel, look at those that built titanic,they believed it was indestructible and nothing could ever happen to it until it wrecked, the supremacy of God can’t be questioned and no mortal can face his wrath,as the president of PMF, I’m appealing to you,to abolish that law because one day your tenure will be over and you will become an ordinary man, we were happy when you became the governor because we believed that you’re a good Christian, please retrace your steps “.
