A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Mr Osita Okechukwu, on Thursday assured that
President Muhammadu Buhari would not neglect
the Igbos in appointments.

Okechukwu, who is the spokesman of the party in
the South-East, gave the assurance in an interaction
with journalists in Abuja.

He said that the president still had more than 500
appointments to make and that the Igbos would be
carried along fully.

He said the appointments made so far were based
solely on professional competence, but expressed
confidence that Igbos won’t miss out in Buhari’s
government.

”My message for my people is that in the next one
or two years, they will have nothing to complain
about because the Federal Government of Nigeria
is a big elephant.

”He has more than 500 appointments to be made
and the juicy ones are also there, and even the
sensitive ones are also there; we cannot miss out,”
he said.

The spokesman urged the people to be patient as
the government had just spent one month out of its
48-month mandate.

”My people from the South-East are complaining over the appointments made so far; yes, that’s a valid argument but the arguments could be accessed on two grounds.

”One, the president has 48 months mandate; he
has just completed one or two which falls below
five per cent of the mandate he was given.

”On the other hand, he has over five hundred
appointments to be made no matter the delay, to
be made between now and December or by this
time next year.

”I personally feel it is very much on the side of
impatience to assess the president with less than
30 appointments, because there are other crucial
appointments still waiting,” he said.

He explained that the appointment of service chiefs
should not be politicised, considering the current
level of insecurity in the country.

He expressed confidence in the president’s
disposition to fairness.

“I do not see President Muhammadu Buhari whom
I have worked with for over 12 years neglecting or
trying to breach that area of the Constitution that
says appointments must reflect federal character,”
he said.

.

And you think we are interested in the jumbo appointment?.


Just Stfu and die!!

Una don hear

We hope so.

Call me EasternLion 5% Biafran.

We no even want their 5%.

Buhari has said it himself that the constituencies that gave him 97% will be expecting more from his administration.

The 5% dona-tors must make do with only their constitutional rights which is ministerial positions(lesser portfolios i know... )'

This saving face rebuttals by his party members is nothing but a joke.

As if we care.


Could appointing all his kinsmen reduce the number of beggers in and from northern part of nigeria that scattered all over the country? NO.

Okechuikwu spoke well, but
His almajiri brothers will soon descend on this thread saying "we dont want any appointment from him".

.

We will wait for your party in 2019.
5% you got will be 0.02% this time. There will be no voter apathy this time.

Political appointments has never advanced the cause of the Igbo nation and will never. 16 yrs is enough to prove it.

Igbos are through with dis british contraption and want out.

Biafra loading.....

Hmmmmm....

The dullard president himself has said it all. No need to cry over split milk.

This man is very stu.pid. The real Igbos are agitating for their freedom knowing fully well that, freedom is the gateway to our success. While the gullible ones are after some cheap appointments in the damnation rubbish.
