Tinubu favours north in security appointments —Presidency

The Nigerian Presidency has debunked insinuations that President Bola Tinubu favours the Soutt-West while making appointments into the various security positions in the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The insinuations came following the appointment of a Yoruba man, Maj. Gen. Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede as the acting Chief of Staff of the Nigerian Army in the absence of incumbent Army chief, Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, another Yoruba man who is currently undergoing treatment abroad.

In the heat of arguments emanating from the appointment, newly appointed Special Adviser on Public Communication and Orientation to President Tinubu,
Sunday Dare, took to his official X handle, @sundaydaresd, on Saturday, to say Tinubu does not favour the South-West in making security appointments.
