North Central is trending in Nigeria

 



North Central is trending in Nigeria because of debates surrounding the geographical and ethnic identity of the new  NNPCL GCEO, Bayo Ojulari.




While some accuse President Tinubu of favouring Southerners, particularly the Yoruba, others argue that Ojulari is a Northerner from North Central. 


They assert that unless Kwara’s western parts and a third of Kogi return to the West, his Northern identity stands.
