Senator Ndume: Tinubu’s Appointments Violate Constitution

Senator Ali Ndume is speaking out against President Bola Tinubu’s appointment practices, claiming they don’t reflect the diversity the Nigerian constitution calls for. Ndume argues that the president’s choices does not adhere to Section 14(3) of the 1999 Constitution, which requires government positions to represent the country’s various ethnic and regional groups.
Ndume’s concerns center on the lack of inclusivity in Tinubu’s appointments. He believes the president’s actions are undermining the constitutional principle of federal character, which aims to ensure all Nigerians have a voice in government. Ndume points to specific numbers and statistics to back up his claims, emphasizing that his criticism isn’t a personal attack on Tinubu but rather a call to action.
As a senator, Ndume sees it as his duty to hold the president accountable for his actions. He’s urging Tinubu to reconsider his appointment strategy and make a more concerted effort to represent Nigeria’s diverse population. Ndume’s message is clear: he wants to see a more inclusive approach to governance that reflects the country’s many different backgrounds and perspectives.
Ndume’s criticism has sparked a national conversation about the importance of federal character in Nigerian politics. The debate highlights the role of the National Assembly in checking the executive branch and ensuring that government appointments are made with the country’s diversity in mind. By speaking out, Ndume is pushing for a more representative government that truly reflects the needs and interests of all Nigerians.
