Nigerian leader Bola Tinubu has faced accusations of nepotism since he became president in May 2023 .

Recent posts on social media accused him of favouring his own ethnic group in Nigeria ’s southwest.

However, this is misleading: only one of the two appointees is Yoruba , the same ethnic group to which he belongs.

Contrary to the claims, Mohammed is Nupe and not Yoruba .
