Honestly, this is what a lot of people think about tinubu federal agencies appointments: they wonder if it’s just payback for people who helped him get elected or if he’s picking the actual best people for these federal jobs. I mean, after every election, it seems like we hear the same stuff – that agency appointments are handed out like thank-you gifts. That definitely happens some of the time, because politics is a lot about who you know. But I’ve also noticed there’s a growing push for leaders to prove they’re actually picking folks who know what they’re doing, especially when things go wrong or if people think stuff isn’t fair by region or religion.

For example, MOJEC’s boss was super happy about Tinubu’s new import ban, saying it will help Nigerian companies and create jobs—that’s what people want from these appointments: actual results, not just favors. But let’s be real, sometimes politicians still pick friends first. It kinda sucks because everyone wants things to get better, and it feels like only the same circle of people get a shot, even if there might be someone more qualified out there. In my opinion, that’s exactly why everyone debates it so much and why this topic always trends online.
