KANO State governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to sack Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), Dr. Festus Odimegwu, over his criticism of the 2006 Census.
He made the call in the State House Abuja on Friday during a meeting with the president.
Odimegwu had been reported to have said that the 2006 Census housing enumeration data was not published because it was altered by census officials due to corrupt practices.
Kwankwaso also requested to know from the president why approval had not been granted to airlines that applied to the Ministry of Aviation to operate in Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.
Fielding questions from State House Correspondents after the meeting with the president, Kwankwaso revealed that it was the president who invited him for a discussion on national issues, and that they had a fruitful deliberation.
He said, “I also raise the issue of the Chairman of the National Population Commission headed by one Festus Odimegwu. We are not happy with that appointment because it was a mistake. Festus shouldn’t be there in the first place.”

What makes Festus unqualified? Because he is not one of the maigaris?

Yes,Festus shouldn't be there so North can alter the Census figure.You will prefer another Samaila Rago to be the NPC Chairman.Wake up Kwankwso from your dream.

These Northern Govs feel so important that irritates me.
He is afraid cos the next census will have data like tribe and religion and the commission is not headed by their fellow core northerner or westerner that can do their bidding.

Grow up dude!

Sack ko nwankwo ni. Truth must not be silenced.

Nigeria has a long way to go!

sack Festus why?

why should he not be there in the first place?

These self-important abokis are so disgusting. Who the hell are you to tell the president who should be sacked and who shouldn't?
