President Buhari in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday March 1, 2016 responded to an interviewer's question about the controversy generated by his numerous appointments which many Nigerians described as "lopsided" in the following words:
"This is the Nature of Nigerian Politics"
"If they will do justice to me as an elected Nigerian President, let them look at the Constitution a Nigerian President works with, there are people who will closely work with me that don't need to be taken to the Senate"
"If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom we come all the way from the APP, CPC and APC and have remained together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in I can trust them with any post will that amount to anything wrong?"
"I have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward of such dedication and suffering?"
"They did not defect because of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments."
"What is wrong if I make you secretary (of the Federal Government) because I have confidence that things will go normal?"
