The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Monday, urged Igbo not take to ministerial appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari following the seeming lopsidedness of appointments made so far by the President.
Ohanaeze, while reacting to the strident outcries that have attended the appointment of the President’s ‘kitchen cabinet’, appealed to the Igbo nation to remain calm.
President-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Enwo Gary Igariwey, spoke at the Ohanaeze National Secretariat in Enugu during an appraisal meeting on the Igbo nation.
Igariwey said, “We had a meeting of a select group with Ohanaeze NEC to discuss Igbo Day celebration. It will be held on a low key. Branches are free to celebrate as they want. But Ohanaeze national will mark Igbo Day on a low key.
“It will be a day of retreat, tact and unity. The theme of this year’s celebration is ‘Akonauche na Njiko’ (tact and unity).
On the issue of appointments, he said, “We ask our people not to be disappointed on the seeming lopsidedness of appointments made so far by the President.
“Our people should remain steadfast, think of home, and galvanise efforts towards the development of Igbo nation because nobody will do it for us. We have helped in building Lagos and Abuja among others. It is time to do the same in our own place.
“We should recreate that zeal and develop our place. This years’ celebration is not a time of festival and masquerades, but a time for rethink.”
Also, former Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Chief Joe Achuzia, who was miffed by the lopsided ‘kitchen cabinet’ appointments, charged Ndigbo to remain strong and form a veritable opposition that will take over power come 2019.
According to the former scribe, “Having known that the President has distributed key positions to his brothers, what worries me is that ministers have been regarded as mere servants by the President. In other words, if an Igbo is appointed minister, he or she will be a mere servant.
“The question is, are we to take up such positions to go and serve him, to go and make him popular? Without an Igbo man being a minister, I do not think the President will survive. So, Igbo should not take ministerial position.”

Noise makers....... Unity in Nigeria should be the clamour....... Not a Biafra that will still be doomed by Racism amongst we the igbos

lol

If it were you nko? lets be logical here,buahri is just victimizing ndi-igbo nation because they didnt vote fr him.

Buhari is not a patriot,noo far from it,he is more of someone always clamouring for his region before now.

If you hear buhari speaking against corruption(hypocrisy at its peak),its not a falout of dire patriotism but because he sees nigeria An estate whose land was acqiured,plan drawn and structure erected by his tribe,that nigeria is their Fathers property and their inheritance.

So i support their position,else check arewas utterances when Gej was pres.

Bros,i agree with you where you say Buhari's appointment is lopsided.

The area I want to disagree with you is your claim that Igbos are being victimised for election reason

If Buhari truely is doing that,then he's not a man of integrity as agreed buy international communities.......For the fact that he did not win the eastern states does not mean the easterners does not vote for him at all.

Come to think of it,the only region his appointments have favoured so far is the north.
