Traditional rulers and leaders of thought in Kwara South senatorial district yesterday rose in the defence of the federal appointments made so far by President Bola Tinubu.
They argued that appointments so far made conformed with and took cognisance of the federal character principle.
At a news conference addressed by Chief James Ayeni on behalf of the monarchs and leaders of thought, the people said the appointments into public offices depicted Tinubu’s sense of equity, fairness and justice.
“By these appointments, President Bola Tinubu has demonstrated that he belongs to all Nigerians, irrespective of region, religion or ethnicity,” they said.
The Kwara South leaders who said the president was always guided by political clairvoyance and sagacity, added that the attributes guided him in “discovering talents, able hands and putting round pegs in round holes”.
They also said Kwara South district had benefitted from the fair and equitable distribution of appointments across the country, and, thus, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu.
“The appointment of our children from Kwara South into various offices has rekindled our sense of belonging in the Nigerian Project,” adding that, “the President can, therefore, be rest assured of our unwavering support for his administration and our unflinching loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
