Prof Khalifa Dikwa, the Dean of Borno Elders Forum, has said that most of the appointments by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are either weak or lopsided.
Dikwa stated this while commenting on the 0.5 per cent cybersecurity levy on electronic transactions recently introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
He accused the Tinubu administration of provoking Nigerians by introducing harsh policies.
He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to withdraw the policy.
Professor Dikwa said, “Northern elite are not happy with Tinubu because each of these policies affect the north entirely. There is an issue with his appointments because most of his appointees are either misfit or weak or taken to the wrong places.
“Anything ICT, finance, works were lopsided. It must not be northern elites alone, even people from the South-South and the South-East should be appointed. Nigeria is more than Lagos State.”
The professor argued that the Tinubu administration was being remote-controlled by institutions such as International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.
Dikwa said, “Everything that will keep impoverishing the poor Nigerians will keep on coming. They are interested in bringing Nigeria into crisis and lawlessness.
“Nigeria has reached a situation where if Nigeria has enough money even those who are not working should have given money in order to survive. This is a wrong timing. Why are you provoking the people of this country?
