Nigerians react to the appointment of pastor and Igbo man

The appointments of a pastor and an Igbo man in the administration of Governor Abba have generated mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.

@ikebuya

"These appointments do more harm than good as it gives people an avenue to express their b1gotry towards the kith and kin of the people appointed. In most cases, it attracts more condemnation than praise thereby defeating the purpose of trying to foster unity."

@Yahaya_Msalisu

"Did they appoint our people In their states? We have always welcomed them and show them love but what they have showed us "hate" by Allah we would always keep showing them love."
