Meanwhile, this list has generated mixed reactions from some Nigerians.
While some people criticised the list for being too heavy with people from Tinubu’s south-west region, others argued that the posts of aides are best given to conpetent allies and close confidants.
For instance, a popular activist, Deji Adeyanju, tackled President Tinubu on his Facebook on Sunday.
Adeyanju said, “What kind of tribalism is this? Almost everyone on this list appointed by Tinubu is Yoruba. Out of 20, 15 of them are Yoruba, gosh!”
