South East Loses Out As SGF Goes To North East….we’re Not Surprised, Says Ohanae by Cherrybae(f): 1:16pm On Jul 06, 2019
The South-East geo-political zone has failed to clinch the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as President Muhammadu Buhari has re-appointed Boss Mustapha as the SGF thereby ending speculations that a former Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, from Ebonyi State, would be appointed the SGF.

Onu, who is from the South-East, is a long time ally of Buhari having been a member of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party which produced Buhari as its Presidential candidate twice.

With the positions of President, Vice-President, Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker, Deputy Speaker and SGF all filled, it implies that the South-East has been omitted from all key positions.

In the previous Buhari administration, Senator Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party emerged as the Deputy Senate President over controversial circumstances which did not go down with the All Progressives Congress-led government

The highest position being held by the South-East today is the minority leader of the Senate in the person of Eyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia-South senatorial district.

Speaking with our correspondent on Saturday, the National Publicity Secretary of Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Mr. Uche Achi-Okpaga, said the organisation was not surprised by the President’s actions.

The Ohanaeze spokesman said the South-East survived the last four years of Buhari’s government and would also be able to survive the next four years.

He said the President ought to act like a statesman by appreciating the nation’s diversity.

Achi-Okpaga said, “We are not surprised. This is not news. We never expected anything from him before. When he was inaugurated for a second term, I issued a statement that we were not expecting anything from Buhari.

“This is a man that has never minced words about his intentions. He never placed any premium on South-East so why should you expect him to give us appointments? You see how he went all out to remove the head of the judiciary who is from the South?

“We were able to survive the first tenure and we have enough shock absorbers to help us endure till the end of his second tenure. So, our prayer is that he takes things easy so that the country will not
Collapse.

Ndigbo cannot reap where they didn't sow. Ndigbo should resuscitate themselves, wall themselves round with the fear of God, only then will the blessings of God come true in their ies.

Ndigbo must learn how to play politics and stop playing politics of hate and bitterness.

Appointment should not be the problem of the South-East, those that were appointed in Buhari's first term can't point to any tangible results they have produced.

All they did was to blame the opposition for their failures, so who appointment help?

Which country of the world marginalizes it's talented people?. Some people think the south east is loosing out, alas the whole nation is being drawn back. Go to various foreign embassy in Abuja or Lagos and be the judge on the state of the nation. Everybody wants to leave.

Scenario one: Let's assume a southerner becomes president and decides to fill his whole cabinet including senate president, IG of police, COAS, INEC chairman, Custom Boss etc with southerners... safe for VP that goes to the North, how will the northerners react?

Scenario two: What's worse still is that you see your fellow southerners jubilating about this kind of news just because of the hate they have for the other side.

We southerners are the major problem of this country.
