Atiku Reveals How He Will Make Appointments If He Succeeds President Buhari

Ahead of the 2023 general election, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has vowed to make appointments into his cabinet strictly based on merit and federal character if he wins the presidential polls.

Naija News reports that the PDP presidential candidate stated that his administration will not be accused of nepotism in feeling key positions, unlike the current All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of President Muhammadu Buhari that has been enmeshed in such controversy.

Atiky told ThisDay that his government would ensure that all geographical zones were equally represented in appointments into his cabinet.

Atiku explained, “In making all appointments, and not just in appointing security chiefs, I mean all appointments across the board, only merit, balanced with federal character, will be my government’s criteria. I make a bold promise, which every Nigerian citizen at home and abroad can hold me to: we will carry every geopolitical zone along.”

Atiku assured Nigerians, irrespective of ethnicity, region, and religion, that the entire nation would be his constituency.

“At the barest minimum, they can expect their security of life and property, as well as their economic situation to improve under the administration that we will form in 2023, God willing,” he added.
