Olisa Agbakoba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria has sued the Federal Government over what he described as “lopsided appointments” at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). According to a statement signed on Monday by his media assistant, Niyi Odunmorayo, the SAN made the allegation in a suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja. In the suit, he challenged the non-inclusion of the South East of the country in appointments to the NNPC Board. The legal practitioner alleged that the appointment made by the Federal Government contravened the provisions of Section 14 of the Constitution, as well as the Federal Character Commission Act. He stated that it was also in contravention of the “provisions of Sections 42 of the Constitution of Nigeria that prohibits discrimination of any of Nigeria’s ethnic groups such as, in this case, the South East.” Agbakoba requested the court to declare the “lopsided appointments” of board members of the South East region unconstitutional, null and void. source:http://www.pressnewsng.com.ng/2017/10/olisa-agbakoba-sues-fg-over-lopsided.html 24 Likes 6 Shares

I supported Buhari with everything I had; opinion poll, blackberry broadcast, whatsapp broadcast, facebook post, loud noise of Sai Baba in my estate up to a point my landlord thought I was given huge money to support Buhari, my neighbors even thought I was connected to Tinubu at a point. But when I look at news like this, I have regrets supporting these guys. They run this country like its a family business. Shame! 91 Likes 4 Shares |

Igbos have suffered in this country I must tell you. They want to go on their own for all these to stop, they say no, let's be one. Okay we say we can be one but do things fairly and equitably, they say no, we won't. 64 Likes 6 Shares |

Aufbauh:What will be the result? The best result he can get is this. At best, his did will make front page on Nairaland and few people will talk about it and that will be the end. The FG will still go on and carry their same lopsided appointments and absolutely nothing will happen. ask your self, what have been the result with all those investigation panel been set up by the Senate, Executive etc saying they are investigating something like this. have you ever seen them talking about it again? This country is a very big joke. 65 Likes 7 Shares |

Aufbauh: In Nigeria politicians will always tell their opponents to go to court after rigging elections. Buhari has disobeyed so many court injunctions, so this action is just a formality, as even if Agbakoba wins the outcome will not be implemented. The kind of nepotism displayed by this administration seems rather unprecedented, let no one come and remind us about how GEJ had Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Pius Anyim in his Govt because Nigerians voted for change.  Even my Yoruba Muslim friend who has used every medium to defend Buhari is tired, the response from Maikanti Baru compounded his predicament as it omitted the issue of lopsided appointments raised by Kachikwu. Baru has told the world that Ibe Kachikwu is just a 'figurehead and spare tyre' Minister of State whom he cannot take directives from nor refer to him on any issue regarding the Petroleum industry. Lai Mohammed had claimed that Buhari appointed Igbos to head 2 key agencies (Petroleum Ministry and CBN). But the Monetary Policy Commission has accused Emefiele of printing so much Naira for the FG to keep the Naira afloat against the dollar and warned of impending danger of this action. A 40 year old northern lady has just being appointed as CBN Deputy Gov to take over from Emefiele after some short grooming. It then means that the Igbos occupying the so called 'sensitive positions' according to Uncle Lai are just figureheads  16 Likes 2 Shares |

Olisa this will make no sense as in reversing Buhari's appointments. The case will drag on until this administration elapses in 2019. However I commend your good efforts as you will achieve a landmark judgement to serve as deterrent to forestall a rehearsal of this parochial and insensate nepotistic tendencies in future appointments. 6 Likes |
