The Coalition of North-Central
Youth in Politics (CNYP) on Sunday lambasted South east leaders under the aegis
of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for asking President Muhammadu Buhari to give the zone
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) slot.
This was contained in a
communique signed by Alhassan Mohammed, the Convener and Hon. Aliyu Musa, the
Secretary, after an emergency meeting held in Abuja.
The group said: “It is not news
that Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) was not just endorsed by this group of Igbos but posted a stellar
performance in the South eastern states, recording 85 per cent votes in Enugu,
Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra States.
“This clearly shows that the Ibo
rejected the progressives path, thereby pitching tent with the old order.”
CNYP said it was laughable that
the Igbo want to harvest where they did not sow, asking that: “Are Ohanaeze
playing the role of the Baboon in the popular Nigeria adage of Monkey de work
Baboon de chop?”
“In the election that returned
President Buhari as winner, North West produced the highest number of votes.
The region is followed by North East.
“Today, the northeastern region
has been compensated with the office of President of Senate and the Southwest
which came fouth in Votes for the APC have also been compensated with the
office of the Speaker in addition to the position of the Vice President”.
The statement added that North-Central zone which came third in terms
of votes for the party should be considered for the Office of the Secretary to
the Federation.
