Buhari’s Cabinet: Northern Elders Blast Critics, Release Jonathan’s List of Lopsided Appointments

By Author
According to the Concerned Elders of the North, CEN, President Muhammadu Buhari is no different from Goodluck Jonathan in his appointment of cabinet members.
CEN claimed that what Buhari had done was that he had merely chosen people he knew well as his personal staff “which is to be expected of any serious President”.
The group frowned at attacks on Buhari over his recent appointments.
The group also released a list of the appointments by the Jonathan administration, saying his government was dominated by southerners.
“The first group of 13 appointees (a minister, the SGF and heads of parastatals) were from the South-East while most of those in the second group of 37 were mostly from the South-East and the South-South.

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

By Author
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday.

Onetime actress turned nurse, Regina Askia Williams, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari on the state of nation.
