Some youths under the auspices of the
Urhobo Nationality Council, UNC, on
Wednesday morning protested the
nomination of the
Group Managing Director of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation,
NNPC, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu, as the minister to
represent Delta State.
In a peaceful protest which commenced
around Okumagba Avenue, Warri, Delta
State, Secretary of the UNC, Mr. Progress
Omo-Agege, claimed that the NNPC boss did
not vote for President Muhammadu Buhari
during the just concluded
general elections in the country.
He accused Kachikwu of being a major
sponsor of the Peoples Democratic Party’s
Governorship Candidate in Delta State,
Dr Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, during the last
election.
‘’ Our protest is because Kachikwu is not a
member of the APC, he’s not a card-carrying
member. He did not vote for President
Buhari and he was a major sponsor of the
PDP in Delta state.
‘’ We are not comfortable and the other three
senators are not comfortable. The
nomination of Kachikwu will not strengthen
the party in Delta. Let Buhari bring
somebody that will support the cause of the
party, Urhobo deserves a minister’’, he said.
While claiming that the Urhobo people
remain the fourth largest producer of oil and
gas in the country, the youths said that
Buhari’s relationship with the Urhobo nation
should be protected by appointing an Urhobo
man as a minister.
The Secretary added that Kachikwu being
nominated as minister would only tear the
APC in Delta State apart.
He appealed to Buhari to quash the
nomination of Kachikwu and ‘nominate
another person that will support the cause of
the party at the Federal and State levels’.
The Senate will resume the screening of
ministerial nominees this Wednesday with
Kachikwu as one of the 11 nominees
expected to be screened.

wow, this is amazing
ok op, carry on

such post usually makes me speechless. no matter how fast i think my brain boot, such post gets it nagging.

How s the nomination of ibe kachikwu weaken the apc party in delta state? Or will not strengthen their party in delta state?
You guys re just angry because they selected some one from delta igbo.

Una no serious at all, urhobo wayo pple.

The man must be there to work out the systems, not there for your own selfish interest.
They found him eligible and credible and that s why the americans recommended him .

Abi una think sey na buhari select am?

My take.

A lesson for the igbos in the south south. Can you now see that those you think are your brothers are actually not?
Being part of south south does not make you their brother. Dont be deceived. Keep in touch with your root- Igbo, and forget about the name south this and south that.

exactly my point......because of who he is......and some people would want to die on the statement that "I am not igbo".....they would support them, but when it comes to appointment, that's when they remember that they are not from SS but igbos.........

honourhim:
A leason for igbos in the south south. Can you now see that those you think are yoyr brothers are actually not?

don't mind them, they felt an igbo man is the governor of delta state and also nnpc president or whatever ministerial position he wants to attain.

So they re hurts in their hearts.

Hypocrite clans.

Their first reason is deceitful and diversionary!!

Thier main anger is that the governor is from Delta North, and another Delta North is nominated as a minister.

What are you saying? Even shittu that came from oyo is not accepted by APC oyo state so why trying to tribalis a well explanatory issue. This isn't about tribe according to the simple article you just read if you eventually read it.

After people like enahi,laudate,oyind17,hopeathand and ss claimers will opened a thread and said let's us discussed about ss as one lol.

Tribalistic Hypocrite

gej betrayed his brother ameachi for a northerner jang, timipre sylva did it, these delta boys are doing it to their brother. But when ameachi says i pay u back, he becomes the wail of pdp

delta current governor is an igbo man from ika extraction and d nnpc ibe.k is also an igbo from aniocha extraction , d capital of delta is in d igbos terriitory , we have 9 igbo local govt in delta state and we have technocrats such as noi elumelu and so onthese block urhobos head wont respect us they dont know dat in reality delta state is owned by us... I am from the ndokwa extraction

urhobo fight for biafra den all this will never happen

Another reason I believed PMB considered by not attaching portfolios to the respective nominees, this kinda scenario would have attracted so much agitations and condemnation in upper legislative chamber,where some senators might claim their state didn't get a juicy position.PMB appointed a member of the opposition to the nation petroleum sector,something his predecessor couldn't afford.I believe commendation is all what he deserve not this.Even senate minority leader couldn't hold his tongue of gratitude.

APC wahala

Pls this Urhobo people shld mind themselves,Kachichukwu is a pride of Nigeria and nt just Delta State or ndigbo....i wld rather prefer them to ask the president to compensate them with the position of the new NNPC BOSS.

nairaland is such a terrible place. When it is time for oil and food people say SS people are not Igbos but when it is time to apportion blame and wahala, the SS people are seen as Igbos.

Nawa o.

The youths of this country are not ready for leadership. Quote me anywhere

What portfolio do you think Buhari will hand over to kachikwu?

Did Urhobo people vote for PMB?

A wobbling APC south-south wing now willing tools of divide and rule in Delta state, and why didn't they give the name of the coordinator of the Urhobo youths? How many times have hausas protested against their fulani minority taking every presidency that comes to the north.
Any it's left for the 'I am not Igbo' Anioma people to respond to their "fellow Delta/ SSner".

Urhobos eh
I'm disappointed

Oppah in Ndokwa has the biggest gas plant in the whole Nigeria.
Ika and Ndokwa have lots of Oil wells.
No be Urhobos get Delta.

I keep saying it the Hausa man and Yoruba recognise Igbo (Whether SE or Delta Igbo) very much in Nigeria despite all these attacks on the social media. That is why they will give them job opportunities before all these mushroom one local government ethnic groups parading about. Check companies owned by Hausas and Yorubas and do a census of the employees. You see that Igbos have far more opportunities in these places more than all these ethnic champions claiming 'we are south south' put together. Go to the banks, media, manufacturing, agro-allied industries, real estate from Lagos to Kano, Abuja to Enugu, Kaduna to PH etc. Secifically, companies like Globacom, Dangote, Zenon Oil and other companies not owned by Igbos and see the number of Igbos there compared with all ethnicities in SS put together. Apart from the intellectual aptitutude of the Igbo, these employers recognise the work ethos Igbo bring to the organisation or administration. So evem a Buhari cannot neglect Igbo whether he voted him or not. In fact an Igbo will be abusing him and still be asking him for his due.

The other political power blocs use the so called South South to put the Igbo in check only for political purposes. That is why you see SS tribes and their posture is always 'We will not allow Igbo to have this or that', 'We will not allow them own house in Ph or Uyo,' 'We will not vote for Igbo presidency', 'We will not allow Igbo nominee as minister this or that' All hot air to amuse the Hausa and Yoruba and tickle the Igbo themselves. At the end of it all, these tribes are nowhere in the equation.

They found him eligible and credible and that s why the americans recommended him .

Abi una think sey na buhari select am?

My take.

So its no more PDP that recommended him according to Olisa Metuh, awon wailers yi sha.

To be fair, Delta North (Igbo) produced the current Governor, it wouldn't have been bad to consider other parts/tribes of Delta in the Ministerial nomination bearing in mind that the last Minister's also from Delta North.

But this Kach guy is just too brilliant to be overlooked, and has very strong backing from powers-that-be.

Urhobos sorry, you'll get lucky next time

You see, there is something about Igbos in SS and Igbos in SE. I think the Igbos in SE are wiser than their brothers in SS this is because of the way the two reasons.

SovietBomber:


What portfolio do you think Buhari will hand over to kachikwu?

minister of Petroluem or min.of state for Petroluem.

The Urhobos as a people, are very accommodating but never good at forging alliances. I'm somewhat disappointed in these jobless youths. It's quite obvious they presented themselves as mercenaries to be used by the APC chiefs in Delta state.

For the guy saying the present governor of Delta state is an Igbo-Deltan, hence, appointing another Delta-Igbo is unfair is missing the picture. The oil is not about Urhobos, Ijaws and Itsekiris. The president has appointed a man he deems capable and they have no option but to deal with it.

Some times I wonder how some youths could be so daft... Are we not looking for the betterment of our country?, must we always put ethnic and party affiliation before anything?
As far as I am concerned kachikwu is so eligible

In Oshiomole's voice
They should GO and........
