President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday blamed those he tagged 'selfish elite' for promoting criticisms of his appointments into government positions.
Buhari who was represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the opening of the 21st Nigerian Economic Summit (NES) in Abuja lamented the unfortunate situation where Nigerians are more concerned about sectional and religious interests rather than the competence of appointees.
The president blamed the selfish elite for fuelling the complaints about the ethnic and religious background of appointees. .
He said ;
: “You find out that the elite, whether from the Southwest, Northwest or wherever, are willing to collaborate in stealing the resources of the state. It is important to point out that the idea of where a person appointed into government comes from is meant to divert attention.”
He reaffirmed his commitment to see that only Nigerians of proven integrity were chosen to serve in his administration.
