Some persons on social media have kicked against the appointment of Ngozi Ugochi by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State.

Ugochi was appointed as the Special Adviser to the governor on Gender, Research and Documentation.

According to comments gathered by MyNigeria.com, Ugochi-Igbo is said to be an In-law to the governor who in recent times has been accused of allowing his family members run the affairs of Ondo State.

The appointment is also criticized because she's not from Ondo State nor from the Yoruba Tribe of Southwest Nigeria.

See comments below.

@gentleojay: "People of Ondo State are protesting about the appointment of Ngozi Ugochi as SA to Gov. Akeredolu on Gender, Research & Documentation. The protest was not based on her lack of qualification but solely on her not being Yoruba. What is the difference between RACISM and TRIBALISM?".

@olorioyeyemi: "You listen to yourself. People of Ondo State. Its a State not a Country. Why bring in your marriage into a State affairs. Are you saying in the whole of Ondo Ekiti Oyo no lady with brain? Please carry her to her State as SA. I can very well SA Akeredolu. Let the truth be told!"

@raphaelolayode: "Fvck it , the people of ondo haven't eating well , aketi is given positions to his in-laws , learn to be responsible pls".

@tiwaladeadebisi: "I agree with you brother on a national level though , but this is not a national issue, it is ondo state, ondo state. Did anyone outside ondo state Vote for akeredolu ? Nooooooo so why should he bring an outsider to lead the people of the state".

@thatrichboy007: "The difference is when qualified Ondo person is left behind in the scheme of appointment and people from other states are picked. Tell me how many yoruba person is in appointment in Imo state and I will count how many imolites are in Ondo state".
