Drama over appointment of Northern DSS boss by Buhari – Here’s what Nigerians are saying

September 14, 2018

Nigerians have taken to social media to debate over the President Muhammadu Buhari decision to removed Matthew Seiyefa, as the acting Director-General (DG) of the Department of State Service (DSS) and appoint Yusuf Magaji Bichi (fwc).

Seiyefa was appointed by then Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, as Acting Director-General of DSS following the sacking of Lawal Daura by Osinbajo on August 7, some Nigerians are of the view that Buhari should have let the appointment stand. Whereas, some other think it was a good desion.

According to those in support of Buhari’s decision, a president has the right to appoint people he trust into such sensitive positions and that Buhari wouldn’t be the first Nigeria president to do such.

See those in support of Buhari’s decision

GEJ also replaced Gadzama with Ita Ekpeyong.
Even Obasanjo appointed his Egba kinsman Kayode Are.
But Buhari is wrong and lifeless for appointing Yusuf Magaji Bichi

This issue of a new DG DSS, shouldnt have become an issue, every president wants someone he can trust in that seat, preferably someone from the same region, thats why Obasanjo appoints Colonel Are, Yar adua appointed Gadzama, Jonathan appointed Ekpeyong, i see nothing wrong here.

Obasanjo’s DSSS head : Col Kayode Are ( non SSS staff)Yoruba ; Yar Adua DSSS head : Afakriya Gadzama from Borno; Uncle Jonathan DSSS head : Ita Esien Ekpeyong from Cross River. Baba Buhari DSSS Head : Daura (Katsina)& Bichi (Kano) a foolish President will appoint otherwise u hear

And those that don’t

The cold, hard fact is, no one can change Buhari. If he had the powers, he’ll remove Osinbajo as VP and replace him with a FULANI man.

If Buhari Respects Osinbajo, He won’t sack Matthew Seiyeifa and appoint Yusuf Magaji Bichi.

But No He doesn’t give a hoot about Osinbajo. Man is just a front man.
