President Bola Tinubu has appointed Muhammed Babangida, son of former military leader Ibrahim Babangida, as Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA), sparking widespread political debate. Initial rumors falsely claimed Babangida rejected the appointment, but he and his family have publicly confirmed his acceptance and gratitude. The move is seen as part of Tinubu’s broader strategy to strengthen ties with Northern elites, though critics, especially from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), argue the appointments are a belated attempt to appease the North. Some political figures have also called for greater inclusion of the South East in federal appointments. The controversy highlights ongoing regional and political tensions in Nigeria’s federal appointments.
