By Emma Amaize ASABA— NATIONAL Coordinator/Convener, Pan Niger Delta People Congress, PNDPC, Chief Mike Loyibo, yesterday, said the group intends to hold talks with President Muhammadu Buhari to reverse the latest lopsided appointments in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, maintaining that it was a desecration of the principles of federal character. Loyibo Loyibo, who spoke on phone with Vanguard, said: “The recent shake-up in NNPC does not promote the unity of Nigeria. It is a clear violation of the federal character principle. It will make the youths and our people to lose faith and confidence in the peace process in our region and the government. “I want to express my disappointment to the people concerned as the explanation I got was not satisfactory.

For us in PNDPC, we will make efforts to see Mr. President to address the injustice done to our region. Nobody should treat us like a second-class citizen, we produce the oil and we should be treated as such. “The action shows that government is deliberately sidelining our people from appointments in this dispensation. It is totally unacceptable to us, we have given so much to Nigeria to be treated this way and I was shocked when I read about it. “This kind of injustice is what make our people believe that the current Federal Government is not sincere with the peace deal and not ready to bring development to our area.

It will encourage our boys to use it as an excuse to disturb oil productions. “They should know where we are coming from. From less than one million barrels production, today, because of our efforts and the cooperation of the boys, oil production went up to 2.2 million barrels and any negative response signal, our people will lose faith in the government. They are pushing us to a situation where we will retreat and withdraw.”

These appointments, is provocative and insult to people shouting about gains from unity in diversity. It is a shame that this grossly insensitive government is doing everything to ensure Nigeria implodes from within...

What is actually wrong with this government? Are they telling the youths from the SS and SE to go to hell? How does the Arewa youths who claimed they want to work with youth from other regions to ensure fairness and equity and progress of Nigeria...plan to do it. Are these charade part of it?

In fact part of their demands should be a relocation of the NNPC head office to the SS

Isn't Buhari himself suppose to know that Nigeria is a Country made up of different tribes and ethnic backgrounds. How do u expect Nigeria to remain one when u keep favoring only one side over the others, that list is a big joke

Even nature is tired of Nigeria...the reason it is making the government deaf and dumb..so that there are clear reasons for implosion and disintegration...Or how can one explain this madness?

Those who are shortchanged by the lopsided appointments should go to court and stop the appointees from assuming office until the error is corrected.

I really don't know why people take all these rubbish from Buhari
