A public affairs commentator, Reno Omokri, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for being objective with the appointment of principal officers for his administration. 

Omokri stated that the appointment of George Akume as Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff depicted that Tinubu kept the promise not Islamising his administration.
