Northerners Accuse Tinubu of Yoruba Bias in Appointments, Threaten “No Re-election”

Northern political figures and socio-cultural groups say President Bola Tinubu’s federal appointments overwhelmingly favour the South-West. They allege key roles in security, economic institutions, and government offices are dominated by Yoruba appointees, sidelining other regions. Critics warn this imbalance breaches the federal character principle and could undermine national unity. They say mounting frustration may cost Tinubu support ahead of the 2027 elections. Supporters counter that selections are merit-based and note previous administrations faced similar claims.
