Where is El matosky and other Igbo moaners who always complain about non appointment from the south east? Mr Kachikwu was appointed based on merit and probably trust as well. So to those of u who are obsessed with blind appointments from your region, it doesn't always work like that. If you are qualified you will be selected.
ReplyDeleteSome one like you "Alan" always cause problem, why dont you focus on the mans CV rather than pointing at Igbo''s. Where did you keep your brain? go get it then come back maybe you will reason well as other people never reasoned like you but gave reasonable comment. Mugu and trouble maker like you.
DeleteHe will need the light of God in him to suppress all evildoers and operate with the right intention.
