The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council
worldwide has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint the secretary to
government of the federation (SGF) from the south-east region.
In a statement on Thursday,
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, president general of the council, said this will enable
equity, fairness in the country.
He alleged that the region had
been schemed out of the leadership of the country.
The group nominated Ogbonnaya
Onu, former minister of science and technology, for the position of the SGF.
“The leadership of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Youth council worldwide had watched keenly the manipulated drama and
scheme out of south-east zone from the leadership of national assembly,
judiciary and other security apparatus of the country, but rather than
lamenting endlessly, We congratulate those who emerged as National assembly
leaders,” he said.
“The will of the Almighty God,
and we the younger generation of Ndigbo accept this realities as an act of
fate, and we urge Igbo leaders to shield their battle swords and quietly go
into “ime Obi” and re-strategize ahead of time for the battle Royal ahead in
2023.
“We should borrow leaf from
south-west who were in similar situations between 2007 till 2015, before they
bounced back in the present moment with President Buhari.
“We urge that equity should be
balanced in zoning of SGF to Southeast, and We unanimously nominate the leader
who was part and parcel of that merger and the leader of defunct ANPP, His
Excellency Dr Ogbonnaya Onu to be considered as the next SGF, for equity,
fairness and natural justice and for Southeast not to be completely shut off
from the Executive Council.
“We have implicit confidence that
Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, have a wonderful enigmatic personality to assist President
Buhari drive the next level agenda. We appeal to the Presidency to allow
Southeast replace Northeast in the position of SGF since Northeast now is
having the position of Senate President.”

Trying to reap from where we didn't sow. PMB made us an offer of 2023 presidency by supporting his 2nd term bid which we rejected. We are simply what we are. We voted PDP cos we don't believe in PMB. And now we are making demands. We shouldn't expect to sow cassava and harvest Grains. We are in no position to make demands. Rather we pray that he includes us in scheme of things. God bless Nigeria.
