On the allegation of nepotism in the appointment of security heads, Mr. Adesina says the appointment of security heads was a prerogative of the President and should not be subjected to ethnic balancing or federal character. 

He adds that the constitutional requirement states that every state be represented in certain positions, excluding security leadership. 

President Buhari term ends in 48 days.
