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. Copyright PUNCH. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

dayo23: 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. 12 Likes |

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". 11 Likes |

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. 7 Likes |

PentiumPro: 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. 8 Likes |

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.!!! 6 Likes 1 Share |

99100: 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 5 Likes |
