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.
