Hassan, in an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, said this would be the first time such a description would be made about a presidential appointment in Nigeria. He alleged that the senator’s comment was seditious and that he should be guided.
Ndume’s criticism followed the appointment of Bayo Ojulari as the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
Ojulari, who is from Kwara, a north-central state, was described as a Yoruba man rather than a northerner by Ali Ndume, the Senator representing Borno South. The development led to the debate on whether Kwara is a Yoruba state or a northern state.
In his reaction, Barrister Hassan said:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Kwara has been described as one of the unique because of its historical, cultural and regional connections.
Titilope Anifowoshe, a Kwara-born legal icon, asserted while speaking in an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, adding that politicians exploit the diversity for political gains.
Anifowoshe’s comment was a reaction to Ali Ndume’s criticism of Tinubu’s appointment from Kwara, describing the appointee from the northern state as Yoruba rather than a northerner.
