A former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has reacted to the appointment of General Farouk Yahaya as the new Chief of Army Staff by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Yahaya was appointed on Thursday to replace Major General Ibrahim Attahiru, who died in a plane crash on Friday.
Omokri, in a post on his social media handles, asked President Buhari why he appointed another northern Muslim as the new Chief of Army Staff.
His question was premised on claims that almost all sensitive positions in the nation are headed by northern Muslim men.
This, Omokri said accounted for why the nation remained unbalanced.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has warned the international community against taking sides in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
In total, 197 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including at least 58 children, and more than 1,200 wounded since Israel launched its air campaign against Hamas, a terrorist organisation on May 10 after the group fired rockets. The heaviest exchange of fire in years was sparked by unrest in Jerusalem.
But taking to Twitter on Monday, the ex-President said the conflict can only be resolved when those living within the borders of Israel and Palestine take the time to understand each other until they come to a place where they can coexist, co-prosper, and eventually cooperate.
