President Muhammadu Buhari told Catholic bishops in Abuja today that he would take a second look at appointments made by the Federal Government to redress issues being raised. He said the review will be done after a compendium of all appointments has been submitted to him. President Muhammadu Buhari He told the bishops, under the aegis of Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, that no ethnic group or political zone has been deliberately marginalised in the appointments made so far by his administration.

The Nigerian leader was obviously reacting to criticisms that he may have violated the Federal character principle in some of the appointments made. The last time a compendium of appointments was done, the South West region led the rest of the country. President Buhari also explained that the policy proposed by Federal Government in response to the frequent clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the country is not meant to colonize any part of the country. Buhari said the intention of government is to create grazing locations for cattle rearers, which has now been misconstrued as another form of colonization. President Buhari regretted that the well-thought out policy of the Federal Government, which was conceived after wide consultations with stakeholders, had been largely misunderstood by a section of the public.

He, however, assured the Catholic Bishops that the Federal Government will continue to explore all opportunities and support initiatives to ensure peace and stability in restive areas. Condemning recent spate of killings in Benue, Adamawa, Taraba, and Zamfara states, the President said security operatives would ensure prosecution of perpetrators and all those found with illegal arms in the affected areas. ‘‘The impression created that I was sitting in an air-conditioned office and home, enjoying myself while these things happened, is dishonest.


‘‘At every step, I have tried to foresee these problems because I have the experience as a former military officer who commanded three out of the four divisions of the Nigerian army, in Lagos, Ibadan and Jos. ‘‘I am quite aware of the problems we have and I am doing my best to get law enforcement agencies to be on alert,’’ he said. The President told the Catholic Bishops that he would not be tired of recounting remarkable progress recorded in the areas of security, economy and the fight against corruption. ‘‘We have done very well on security in the North East, when you compare what the condition was before we came in and what it is now. ‘‘On the economy, particularly agriculture, I am very pleased that God answered the prayers of Nigerians who prayed for bountiful harvest. ‘‘People have taken advantage of Federal Government policies and programmes to return to the farm and they have not regretted,’’ he said. On the fight against corruption, the President reiterated that government would be guided by the law in the investigation and prosecution of all graft-related cases.

‘‘People are being prosecuted systematically with evidence. ‘‘If a permanent secretary has five houses in Abuja, two in Kaduna and one in Borno and Sokoto and he can’t account for the properties and there are bank transactions linking him to the properties, the prosecuting agencies will not have difficulties to make progress on the case.” The Catholic bishops were led by Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama. Kaigama pledged that the Catholic Church in Nigeria would continue to support the Buhari administration and make its contribution to nation-building through prayers, admonitions and assistance to needy Nigerians. ‘‘As the voice of the people, we shall continue to highlight the plight of our people and play our prophetic role of sensitising the government, thus promoting good governance, national unity and cohesion,’’ Kaigama said.

Majority of nigerians are ready to donate and pay for his nominations foam and campaign expensive, so no need for president BUHARI to borrow money from any bank. Nigerians and love for BUHARI are like 5 and 6

Jaymaestro:
Nigerians need to grow on so many phases. Does it matter who helped secure their victory ? Did they not attack and defend as a unit , and does it not benefit all sides ?

bkfilms:
The Governor just used the opportunity to send a clear message to the President and his band wagon. That nepotism and the likes of it, does no good.

Though the CAOS is from Borno, it took an Igbo man 6weeks to achieve what the north, Muslims and even the Borno indigene could not achieve in 3yrs.


Truth be told, the Igbo's are very resourceful and Nigeria need to do more to keep them.

BAZETU12:
Ralph Uwazuruike, founder of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has alleged that if Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was an Igbo man, governors from the South East would have sent him on exile from the region.

He observed that governors in the South East never respected those that, “anointed” them into power.

In a chat with Punch, Uwazuruike maintained that such, “retrogressive mentality” is responsible for the retrogression in the South East.

Uwazuruike said, “If an Igbo man sponsors another person to be governor, that governor becomes his enemy the next day. Juxtapose it with what is happening in Yoruba land.”

“If (Bola) Tinubu had been an Igbo man, he would have gone on exile. Look at how many governors he anointed in Yoruba land; they all pay him respect up till today. If it were to be in Igbo land, they would send him out of town immediately. He will not live in Igbo land because they will chase him out. Look at all the Igbo who were anointed governors. How many of them respect those who anointed them?

“That is the mentality of the Igbo man, retrogressive mentality; the mentality that leads to nowhere but doom. So, what Nnamdi Kanu did was of no difference because it is the typical nature of the Igbo man. That is what makes the Igbo man to be backward and they will continue to remain backward until they change their ways of life.”

Alariiwo:
Just listen to yourself..

What's your total population in Nigeria to warrant such huge figures you throw around?

Only Igbos have 70% properties in Abuja, Lagos and over 30 states in Nigeria.

Yorubas are far more than Igbos population wise, like × 2 or 3 sef yet we don't delude ourselves this much.

You have a brain, better put it to use and stop letging politicians massage your your "non-existent" ego

Alariiwo:
So you're now asslicking a Northerner cos he said an Igbo man planned Bokoharam's defeat.. you lots are too emotional for my liking.

Is the Chief of Defense Staff not Yoruba? If not for the Yoruba head, you think his name will come out?
They would have silenced him since with one Northerner decorated hero.

Ipobs are the only terrorist group in Nigeria as we speak. The ones killing upandan are not terrorists to your Aboki masters yet you rejoice.

I smh for you.

GavelSlam:
Stupid story started by Aribisala but the facts of which idiots never check.

Onu was a stand-in in the interim and was never up for election.

By convention, the power houses of such organisations never put forward her citizens for such positions - USA, Britain, Russia at the UN, Nigeria, Libya at the time and today South Africa would never put forward her citizens .
