NNPC GMD Slot Not Enough For Igbo — Ezeife.......... by olaboy33(m): 6:39am On Aug 09, 2015
A former
Governor of
Anambra State
in the defunct
Third Republic,
Dr.
Chukwuemeka
Ezeife, has
said President
Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu to head the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation was not enough to satisfy the South-East.
The President had on Tuesday relieved Dr. Joseph Dawha of his appointment as
the Group Managing Director of the NNPC and appointed Kachikwu to replace
him.
The new NNPC’s GMD is from the Igbo-speaking part of Delta State.
But in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday, Ezeife insisted that the
appointment did not undo the alleged lopsidedness of President Buhari’s
appointments so far.
He said, “It is not atonement for the many neglects and insults that have
happened with the National Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency and other agencies. How would a
President appoint people into key positions in Nigeria, yet none of them is Igbo?
What kind of thing is that?
“On merit, we have the best people in Nigeria and that is not boasting. On
motivation, it is the same thing. If Buhari wants to ignore federal character, we
are not begging him for any appointment.
“And it is good for us to know where we belong and make appropriate
adjustments. It is not a matter of whether Nigeria appreciates us or not. If they
think we have done enough and we should go, there is more where what we
brought to Nigeria came from. It came from God and we are not going to throw
it away. If we go away, we leave with it. We like Nigeria, but one cannot insult
and treat a group as if they don’t exist.”
The Igbo leader also described as unfortunate the ethnic segregation in the
country. According to him, if a person from one region disagrees with another,
there should be a less vindictive way of expressing it.
The elder statesman further decried the development in the House of
Representatives, where every region except the South-East got a principal
position.
“I have found that only a very insignificant minority of the Igbo people are
saying that they have packed all their eggs in one basket; voting or no voting
for any person has not been of consequence to our people. They went for
elections and voted as they should and they are proud of it; they can repeat
same tomorrow,” he added.

Please stop roping Igbos into whatever one Igbo man says.
The Igbo nation has not appointed anybody as a spokesman in this country. So anybody making any statement about Igbos or what he feels the Igbos might want is expressing his personal sentiments.

Igbos haven't sent anybody to make statements on their behalf or make decisions on their behalf.

So when an Igbo man makes any statements that you find offensive, learn to deal with the Igbo man who made that statement and stop roping Igbos into it.

Ezeife is expressing his sentiments. Not that of the Igbo nation.
Abeg.

No need to dignify your question with a response.
I thought I was speaking with an educated fellow with a sound reasoning ability.
Obviously I'm wrong.

You're free to go ahead with your Hate-The-Igbos campaign.
But I've made my point.
Happy Sunday.

They will get their fair share but shouldn't expect a repeat of Jonathan's lopsidedness in their favor (where they were the "pillars" of his government) as we all now know their pivotal role in wrecking that government. Baba has already assured fairness in line with the constitution. "To whom much is given much is expected".

These people are the most confused set of humans on the surface of the earth. In one instance they want biafra, in another instance they want political positions in Nigeria.

They want to break away from the country yet they are demanding for appointments in the same country they want to break away from

That exactly is where the problem is, they are now used to having a dissapopriate representation in government like what we witnessed under GEJ where they ran the bus aground. Now they want the same under PMB.

Not enough? These people are terrible in nature. Same elite ibo who hijacked public opinion of ibos and presented them as a 100 % anti West/North people are going public crying for positions to make it look like they are pro-ibo at heart.
Am sure when Buhari looks back at their attitude and his anti-corruption fight proimises he wouldn't want to risk bringing in people who will scuttle his goals.

Of course. They are employing blackmail tactics against this gov't but they need to understand that this nation is bigger than them, and PMB is no GEJ. Maybe in Biafra that can fly, but not Naija. Even after everything we all now know about the abysmal failure of GEJ's gov't, they are the only ones still praising and wishing his gov't of profligacy continued.

Story for the gods. Rather than for him to focus in how to actualize their Biafra agenda he hua busy seeking for appointments that will only favour them the elite. But on a serious note he should realise that PMB still has up to 10,000 appointments which the Igbos can still have share of their national cakes from.!!! grin grin

Isn't it funny? This is the same Ezeife who risked his life and limb to help restore Abiola's presidency I.e a Yoruba man. Now read and see how the same Yoruba are insulting him, when he is hurting.

I just hope that Ezeife is reading this to see the true character of the people he came to fraternize with, when the same North was humiliating them. He was there with the Yorubas in their darkest hour to show them brotherhood, now compare his behaviour and brotherliness with the wickedness he is currently receiving from Yorubas.

I hope he is learning his lesson now
