Abstract

The study examined the link between Political appointments and the violations of the Federal Character Principles in Nigeria. The study adopted the Prebendal theory as the theoretical framework. The data gathered were through the documentary sources and the paper adopted the content analysis as the framework for its analysis. The study discovered that out of the appointees made from 2015 till date, most of the appointees are from the Northern part of Nigeria and this has caused some agitations among other geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The study recommended; that the merit system which is was one of the salient features of Max Weber’s Bureaucratic principle should be strictly adhered to and equal representation of ethnic groups at all levels should be adhered to in the appointments and recruitment's.
