Non-inclusion Of Igbo Man In First Six National Position Worrisome– Agbakoba by nairavsdollars(f): 9:38pm On Jun 13, 2019
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Wednesday has described as worrisome that no South Easterner is occupying any position in the first six political offices in the current administration.

President Muhammadu Buhari is from the North-Central while Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo is from the South- West. Ahmad Lawan, Senate President is from the North- East while Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila the Speaker of the House of Reps is from the South- West.

Justice Tanko Mohammed the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) is from the North- Eastern state of Bauchi while Senator Ovie Omo- Agege the Deputy Senate President is from the South- South geopolitical zone.

He also said the President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech on Democracy Day was not inspiring though it gave him a slight ray of hope.

“I was not inspired because it was not the kind of speech that I expected. I expected a foundation laying speech; meaning that if you are building a house, you find a deal with foundation issues. I think Nigeria lacks the foundation and the fact that for instance, if you look at the first six highest political offices in Nigeria and there is no Igbo man is worrying which the President hopes to achieve development and success”.

“I was hoping to hear a speech that focuses on the need for a strong, united Nigeria. I didn’t hear that. Notwithstanding, what I hear gives me a slight ray of hope. I was impressed with the issue of lifting 100 million people out of poverty in 10 years”.

“I was impressed with the fact that there will be strong men to do the job. So, what I am looking at now is to watch out for the next few days to see the kinds of people that will be appointed to drive the ship of state” he said.

That is how Enugu was pampered when coal was a hot cake, but the good thing about Enugu is that they made judicious use of their resources because regionalism was practiced during that time , that's why despite more than half of a century Enugu stopped being the capital of Eastern region, it was still named among the most resilient cities in the world alongside with Paris..

The problem now is what's the fate of oil producing communities if Oil becomes worthless like coal which is inevitable by next 25-30 yrs?
No land for agriculture which has been contaminated with oil
No more oil revenue .
The water is also polluted

Those that are always quick to type "SS" are only being Mischievous.
Nigeria never loved the region SS and every living thing in it which has been proven by history over and over again. The only thing important to Nigeria is what is flowing underground in the region called SS .

This is a case of entitlement mentality. Who made it anyone's birthright to have the first 6 highest political posts. Lol how did this arbitrary number come up anyway? There's a clear difference between losing and being excluded. Everyone was given opportunity to vote their choice.

1. President is elected
2. Vice President elected
3. Senate President elected by peers in senate
4. Speaker of the House elected by peers in house
5. Chief Justice appointed then confirmed
6. Deputy Senate President elected by peers in senate

The SW is the major beneficiary of the unbalanced distribution of the top six posts in the country. Out of the posts they got both the vice presidency and house speakership. No other region got more than one. The SE on the other hand got none. I suggest APC gives them either senate majority leader or majority leader in the house of reps

Lol, between 2011-2015, no Yoruba is part of the first six.

President- Jonathan (SS)
VP- Sambo (NW)
Senate President- David Mark (NC)
Deputy SP - Ekweremadu (SE)
Speaker- Tambuwal (NW)
Deputy speaker - Emeka Ihedioha (SE)

Yorubas remained in the opposition and struck a deal with the north to rectify the wrongs, that’s how real men do and not some slaves that keeps begging for position without a clear way to rescue power.

You're right. But why is every saying Igbos played bad politics simply bcs the didn't vote APC.
I believe the Igbos should stick to PDP and wait till 2023. l don't see APC reigning after Buhari. Once PDP pick a young northern President candidate. The north will migrate.

What kind of entitlement mentality are you talking about? So were those positions not zoned? Was fire, brimstone, and efcc not used to threaten other contenders for the above mentioned positions to fall into order?
