Appointments of Security chiefs are not subject to Federal character – Femi Adesina

Reacting to the recent appointment of security chiefs by President Muhammadu Buhari, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the president said, the appointments are not subject to federal character.

According to him, the Buhari-led administration made the decisions without any focus on tribalism.

In an interview with Channels TV, Adesina noted that although some appointments are subject to federal character, security is not included but focus on competence and the ability to deliver.

“There are certain appointments that are subject to federal character, for instance, the constitution says that there must be a minister from each state of the country but there are certain appointments that are also not subject to federal character and one of them is in the security.

So, the president will appoint whoever he feels is fit and proper and will deliver to the best level for the country and for Nigerians,” he said.
