ABUJA – A northern group under the auspices of Arewa Joint Action Movement, AJAM, hailed President Bola Tinubu over recent appointments made in the region.

In a statement signed by the Convener, AJAM, Lauretta Bako, the group described Tinubu as a listening President, who is committed to making necessary adjustments for the greater good of the nation.

Bako said: “The Arewa Joint Action Movement (AJAM), wishes to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his recent appointments that reflect fairness and inclusivity in the representation of the Northern region within the federal government.

“This action not only addresses the concerns raised by various stakeholders regarding regional representation but also underscores the President’s commitment to listening to constructive criticism and making necessary adjustments for the greater good of the nation.

“In recent months, the discourse surrounding the need for equitable representation in federal appointments has intensified. Many voices from the North expressed apprehensions about perceived imbalances that could undermine the unity and cohesion of our great nation.

“It is with great satisfaction that we now observe President Tinubu’s response to these concerns through a series of appointments that prioritize fairness and inclusivity.

“The recent appointments made by President Tinubu are a clear indication of his administration’s responsiveness to the aspirations of the Nigerian people. By ensuring that key positions are filled by capable individuals from the Northern region, the President has demonstrated a commitment to rectifying past imbalances that have long been a point of contention.

“This move not only fosters a sense of belonging among the Northern populace but also reinforces the principle that every region of Nigeria deserves equitable representation in the federal structure.

“Furthermore, these appointments should be seen as a testament to President Tinubu’s willingness to engage in dialogue with the citizenry. The ability to listen and adapt is a hallmark of effective leadership, and President Tinubu’s actions exemplify this quality. By taking into account the feedback from various stakeholders and making adjustments accordingly, he has established a framework for a more inclusive governance model that prioritizes the interests of all Nigerians, regardless of their regional affiliations.

“The Arewa Joint Action Movement believes that these appointments will not only enhance the effectiveness of governance but also serve to unite the country in the face of challenges that require collective action.

“A government that reflects the diversity of its people is better equipped to address the multifaceted issues facing the nation. We are optimistic that these appointments will pave the way for enhanced collaboration and understanding among the various regions of Nigeria.

“We commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his commitment to fairness and inclusivity in his recent appointments. The Arewa Joint Action Movement stands ready to support initiatives that promote equitable representation and foster national unity.

“We encourage the President to continue on this path of inclusivity and to remain open to constructive feedback from all quarters, as it is through such engagement that we can build a stronger, more united Nigeria.”
