Tinubu has come in for criticisms from some northern leaders who accused the President of favouring his region, the South-West, in the appointments made so far.
One such criticism came from controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who attacked Tinubu during one of his recent sermons, where he claimed that Southern Christians are the ones holding key positions in the current government.
He also alleged that the President used the North to get the Presidency only to pursue an agenda aimed at neutralising the region’s political influence, threatening that Tinubu would not get a second term in office.
