ASABA—Nsukka indigenes, under the auspices of Asaba, Delta State, chapter of Nsukka Platform, yesterday demanded the appointment of Enugu North senatorial indigene as a minister in the government of President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari.

The group in a statement by its chairman and secretary, Dr. Pius Ike and Dr. Leo Abonyi respectively, said: “The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides that every state in the Federation is entitled to a ministerial slot in reflection of the federal character principle.

“This being the case, it then becomes imperative that Buhari should endeavour to uphold this constitutional provision in choosing ministers from every state, while insisting on credibility and competence.

In order words, it is expected that the APC government should ensure that every part of a given state in the federation, including Enugu, is given a sense of belonging in ministerial appointments.

“It is expected and only proper, that the president-elect takes cognizance of the fact that in Enugu State, only two of the three senatorial districts in the state have been producing ministers since 1999 when the country returned to democratic rule.

“In fact, it is on record that the Enugu North Senatorial District (Nsukka Cultural Zone) produced its last minister in 1979 during the Second Republic, in the person of Chief D.C. Ugwu, the then Minister of Health. Since the country returned to civilian rule in 1999, the Nsukka people that constitute over 50 per cent of electorate of Enugu State, have not produced a single minister.

My beloved ADADA people. You shall get all that is your fair share. Yes oo but who do we have in mind for that slot? Also warming up to have our new state. The sixth in SE!

My own b say mi prefer competency to all these tribe stuffs.We need competent hands to make this country moves forward.

Would be disappointed if Buhari takes these silly demands seriously. Who the heck are these people that feel they have a right to demand this and that position in government, is Buhari father christmas? This is not about handing out gifts to appease anybody or any group's childish sense of entitlement, this is about governance and getting the job done. What is wrong with all these silly people and groups? It is getting quite sickening seeing these "demands" for position everyday to be honest. Demand my left yansh. The whole world should stop because they have "demanded". Tone it down please, in a country as diverse and populous as Nigeria, no one should act like they are the only ones in country, Buhari will pick the ministers he wants to pick taking into consideration any law there might be.

Give us a miniser....and what will he do for you? As if your town will transform overnight because you have a minister....

Smh for my people. Instead of asking for infrastrucuture and good governance, its minister you want....

If he gives you a minister, then the president will have a good reason to overlook your community. Shortsightedness....

Give u a minister , when the governor- elect is from ur side...i term this 'GREEDYNESS!'

iboes again..... ...I have not seen yorubas or hausas or berom or tivs or kanuris or nupes or igbiras ....make any of these demands...even though all these people voted for him....only iboes as usual ....what is wrong with this people....

Seconded sir!


NB: but that "Tibet" uhmmmmm lol

Yeeboes, why are you making so much demands when infact you didn't vote for Buhari?!

Fulanis, hausas, Berom, Tiv, Ebira, etc haven't made a single demand and yet you guys just keep threatening the existence of this country Nigeria. I know most of you still have grudge against Buhari because he was a soldier who fought in the civil war, but you can't succeed. You guys actually think you can ride him abi?! Just wait and see how things begin to unfold, right now just take a chill pill and watch Jona handover on 29th!

GMB my hero, FAYEMI my role model and Rochas our next Presido!

The only vacant ministerial position is the honorable minister for trekking affairs.... so your candidate can start trekking now.
