Could Nigeria's careful ethnic balancing act be under threat?
85% Informative
President Bola Tinubu is accused of favouring people from his own Yoruba ethnic group.
Critics say he has ignored precedent by picking another Muslim (although from the north) to be his running mate for the last election.
There have been fears that members of one ethnic group would come to dominate key positions.
Some from the north felt Mr Bawa was unfairly treated and pushed aside to make way for Mr Olukoyode .
Tinubu spokesperson has said the president is being fair and balanced.
Media aide Sunday Dare tried to go into detail, saying overall, 71 northerners and 63 southerners had been appointed.
But his post was later deleted after people pointed out errors in his claim.
