South- East and South-West groups have
faulted what they described as the lopsided
appointments made by President
Muhmammadu Buhari , recently .
The groups, Afenifere , Yoruba Unity Forum
( YUF), the Movement for Oodua Republic
( MOR) , Ohanaeze Ndigbo , The Igbo World
Union, Njiko Igbo Group and the Ohanaeze
Youth Council (OYC) , said that so far,
Buhari ’s appointments favoured the
Northern parts of the country, while
disregarding the federal character policy.
They pointed out that such lopsided
appointments had never happened in the
political history of the country.
The YUF Secretary General, Senator Anthony
Adefuye , warned that the earlier the situation
was reversed , the better, so as not to give
the impression that the North is
marginalising the South.
He said, “The fact that the President, Senate
President and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives are from the North is
worrisome . There is no way the North can
take all the principal offices and leave the
deputy to us . It has never happened before
and the earlier it is reverted, the better.
“ There is no way that can continue because
the South is not subordinate to the North .
The think- tank committee of the YUF will
meet soon to look at the issue and see how
it affects the Yoruba people . However , the
development is a wrong signal that must be
corrected.
“ What is more worrisome is that the
immediate past INEC Chairman, Prof.
Attahiru Jega, handed over to a Southerner
but the Presidency changed it to a
Northerner . We are watching and waiting to
see what comes out of this new
government .
“ Southerners are always careful and
concerned not to marginalise the North .
Therefore, I will not expect the North to
marginalise the South now that the
Presidency is shifted to the region. ”
Also , the National Publicity Secretary of
Afenifere , Yinka Odumakin, said that the
group was closely monitoring Buhari’ s
actions and taking note of them .
Also , George Akinola , the leader of MOR,
warned that Nigeria was heading towards
total conflict should the situation continue.
Meanwhile , the President General of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo , Chief Gary Enwo -
Igariwey , advised Buhari to respect the
principle of federal character when making
appointments.
He said: “We expect the President to
recognise other nationalities that make up
Nigeria . Elections are over, it is time for
governance. We expect that the principle of
federal character, which is constitutional,
should be respected.
“ It is important that in making his
appointments, the President should
recognise that there are six geo - political
zones in the country and it is imperative that
he carries all of them along in the spirit of
nation building and as a statesman .”
The Igbo World Union and the Ohanaeze
Youth Council described the president ’ s
actions as a threat to the corporate
existence of Nigeria

The OYC national president , Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro , said : “ Buhari should
not abuse his privileged position as the
President of Nigeria for the moment. He
should not forget our federal system but
reflect the federal character in his
appointments.
“ We are warning him to drop the Northern
agenda and govern Nigeria in line with the
constitution which he swore to protect. We
will hold him by his statement that ‘he is for
nobody and for everybody’ except he now
wants to tell us that he is the President of
the North alone.
“ Jonathan appointed Northerners as his
National Security Adviser, Defence Minister,
Inspector- General of Police, Chief of
Defence Staff etc. But so far, Buhari has
shown us that he has no regard for other
parts of the country.”
In the same vein, the president general of
Igbo World Union, Dr. Mishak Nnanta ,
advised Buhari not to give in to any ill -
advice from individuals with parochial
interests .

Ha ha ha ....... Na laugh I dey laugh o...... Buhari don dey show una him color . APC change.

buhari has already divided Niggerarea. All man to himself

There is nothing, repeat NOTHING like "Igbo and Yoruba" anything in Nigerian politics.

Yes Igbo are aggrieved concerning the emergence (in the first place) of a fossil named Buhari to lead Nigeria in this century.
The Yoruba ALWAYS wanted to vote for Buhari, and they did. They should go and face Buhari.
We Ndigbo want out of Nigeria. We are tired of the cat and mouse nonsense.

Yes. The Yorubas are happy with Buhari and positive change. Some misguided Ibo youths want to go back to the past of a failed project called Biafra and nobody is stopping them except their elders. It is really very very simple.
Let them agree and go there own way. We are going to see whether , it is not the same fundamental principles that Yorubas are standing for that will make Biafra stand; discipline, lack of corruption, hard work, respect for everyone, clue-fullness by leaders.
If Cameroon, Equitorial Guinea or Chad does not roll up that so called Biafra in two years we can always pay a visit in 2018 to find out if they have grown without these fundamental principles or not.

Yea, in your head, just like all the Arab countries attacked Israel in 1948 to grab at the new country, right?
That is where we shall show our hands like the Israelis did.
Their countries will be in REAL danger of total annihilation from an army of about 6 million technology savvy army, the type that Africa has never seen. They will face about 4 million diaspora Biafrans, very angry ones!
Some of you don't know what you are dealing with.
