The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu on Thursday said President Bola Tinubu intentionally selected individuals from the North to occupy significant positions in his government.

Ribadu said Tinubu purposely selected individuals from the North to oversee important positions, with the goal of ensuring that issues in the area are effectively dealt with.

Speaking in Sokoto, Ribadu said: “At the time Tinubu was forming this government, he said the North was very dear to his heart and that he would do everything to address its challenges.

“This is why he appointed northerners into key offices. He handed over security and defence to the North. He gave us both ministers for Agriculture and Education.

“He also gave us Minister of Health and Foreign Affairs in his quest to turn around the fortunes of the region.

“He gave us chance. Now the rest is on us, the northerners. Let’s put our differences aside and work for the betterment of our region and Nigeria.”
