The apex Igbo sociopolitical
organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has again accused President Muhammadu Buhari
of being biased in his appointments.
Ohaneze cited the recent
reorganisation at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, saying that
the Southeast has again been sidelined.
According to Ohanaeze, this is
exactly why youths in the region are no longer comfortable being called
Nigerians.
The Ohaneze’s position was part
of a statement signed by its President General, Chief John Nwodo in Abuja on
Sunday.
Nwodo said, “Ohaneze is appalled
at the consistent and unrepentant disposition of disdain for the South-East by
Buhari administration as copiously displayed in the recent reorganisation at
the NNPC.
“Ohaneze had thought that after
the President’s declaration in a broadcast recently that Nigeria unity had been
settled and not negotiable, that he would take all necessary actions in his
governance to achieve it, but the recent NNPC shake-up has not shown that the
administration is walking its talk.
“Buhari administration, has shown
in the new managers just announced tilting clearly in favour of the North, with
the South-East totally ignored, as has always been the case since Buhari
administration came to office.
“This brazen disregard,
marginalization and non-compliance with the Federal character provisions in our
constitution are the causes of lack of confidence which our youths have in our
present governance structure.
“As long as President Buhari
continues to live out his speech abroad that his government will favour those
who voted 97 per cent for him against those who voted 5 % for him so long will
the dissatisfaction and unrest in our polity subsist.”
instead of complaining about appointments, complain about infrastructure. Appointments go to enrich private individuals while infrastructure is for the public good.

DeleteExactly why agitation would never stop.... Biafra is the end solution
ReplyDeleteNo! Buhari belongs to everybody and belongs to nobody . Arrant nonsense. As long as he continues to be sectional agitation for secession will never cease in this country. There has never been nepotism of this degree in the history of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with this so called buhari? Give them equal appointment or let them go.
ReplyDeleteBuhari is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria. Most ethnic groups that make up Nigeria are waking up from their slumber and now realize that they are in bondage and being Islamized. Ohaneze, it is time to support IPOB and Biafran youths to exit this murderous sharia Islamic republic of Nigeria. Buhari has destroyed Nigeria.
