VIOLATION OF PRINCIPLE OF FEDERAL CHARACTER IN FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS

Section 171 sub-Section 5 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) stipulates that the President in exercising his powers of appointment under this section shall have regard to the Federal Character of Nigeria and the need to promote National unity. 

A critical look at the list of appointments by this administration shows utter disregard for issues that promote National unity and a gross violation of the Constitution.

We wonder how Mr. President can relate the impunity of his administration to his mantra; fight against corruption.

By flagrantly violating Sections 171(5) and 10 of the Constitution, the President has presented himself as corrupt.

Below are some of the very important appointments made by “Federal Islamist Jihadist’s imperial Government” to confirm our apprehension:

Chief Executives of Educational institutions:

1] Head of Universities: NUC Prof.  Abubakar Adamu Rasheed  Hausa/Fulani Muslim

2] Head of Polytechnics: Hausa/Fulani Muslim

3] Head of Colleges of Education: Prof. Bappah Aliyu Hausa/Fulani Muslim

4] Head of TETFUND: Dr. Abdulahi Baffa Hausa/Fulani Muslim

5] Head of JAMB: Prof. Ishaq Oloyede-Professor of Arabic studies–Muslim

6] Head of UBEC Dr. Hameed Bobboyi: Hausa/Fulani Muslim

7] Head of NABTEB: Hausa/Fulani Muslim

8] Head of NTI: Prof. Garba Dahuwa Azare Hausa/Fulani Muslim. 

88% of the appointments are Northern Muslim/Fulani Muslim. (Only one person is from South West, nevertheless, a Muslim.)

 This is in addition of handing over the Security Units in the Nation to Muslims.

President Buhari has masterfully completed the configuration of the entire National Security structure/architecture firmly in the hands of the Northern Hausa-Fulani Muslims alone to the exclusion of all other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

This is definitely unfair, not just to Christians but to all non-Muslims in Nigeria.

 The Security Units are configured as follows:

With the above statistics, it is fair to suggest that President Buhari is promoting division between Muslims and other Nigerians.

We wonder, whether, Islamism has something to do with the abolition, by President Buhari, of the single four-year tenure for Permanent Secretaries and two-term of four years (eight years) tenure for Directors in the Federal Civil Service in order to entrench Islamism and neo-colonialism in Nigeria.

COLLABORATION AND ACQUIESCENCE OF ELITES IN NIGERIA

There is need to define imperialism and what it stands for, especially because the Fulani Jihadists after having been conquered by the British imperialists were appointed junior partners in imperialism and colonialism by way of Indirect Rule throughout Northern Nigeria.

This form of colonial policy was adopted with some modifications to suit Southern Nigeria. Imperialism is a type of advocacy of Empire. Its name originated from the Latin word "imperium", which means to rule over territories.

Imperialism is "a policy of extending a country's power and influence tough colonization, use of military force, or other means". 

Imperialism also includes a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. 

Imperialism is particularly focused on the control that one group, often a state power, has on another group of people.

This is often through various forms of racial, religious, or cultural stereotypes.

There are "formal" or "informal" imperialisms. "Formal imperialism" is defined as "physical control or full-fledged colonial rule".

"Informal imperialism" is less direct; however, it is still a powerful form of dominance.

Northern and Southern Nigeria ceased to exist as political terminologies with the Creation of States in 1967 by General Gowon.
