A pan Igbo socio- political group, South East Town Unions, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s manner of appointments which have only favoured the North, is threatening the unity of Nigeria.
The group which is the umbrella body of associations of town unions in the five states of the South East zone insisted that Buhari’s neglect of Ndigbo in political appointments has given him out as a President who seems to have a score to settle with the bloc.
In a chat with journalists in Aba, one of the leaders of the group, Chief Emeka Diwe, called on the President to live by his words that he belongs to everybody and see the entire nation as his constituency in making appointments.
“There is no doubt that the manner of President Buhari’s appointments is threatening the unity of Nigeria. There has been tension in the country since the appointments were made public. Everybody is agitated, except the core North.
How can one explain a situation where all the appointments made by the President have been concentrated in only one zone? Buhari appears not to trust other Nigerians and this is not good for the unity of the nation.
Did Buhari mean it when he said at his inauguration that he belongs to everybody? Recent events are proving that he didn’t mean what he said.
“Ndigbo cannot allow themselves to be marginalized in a country where they have equal, if not greater stakes than other zones. What the President has done is akin to declaring total war on Ndigbo.
I disagree with the president and his team that the appointments were made on merit. Is he telling us that people from other sections of the country are not qualified or cannot be trusted for appointments into these grade A positions? Buhari should change the pattern of these appointments in the interest of the nation.”
Diwe who is also the President General of Association of Imo State Indigenous Town Unions, called for the building of bridges of understanding and unity among the different political and tribal groups in Nigeria. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Now the radical view of a minority igbos will lead to abuse against all igbos. We await the usual igbo hate and abuse. I sometimes wonder why we forced igbos to remain in Nigeria if we hate them so much
ReplyDeleteIgbos have many times proven to be bad politicians

There is never anything that is going to be definite for determining whether a transaction is gaining or losing. People who trade on the stock market experience the same kind of gains and losses.
