Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu as Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
According to the former Governor of Anambra State, The statesman said the appointment still didn’t appease the Igbos compared to the number of appointments already made.
Kachikwu is from the Igbo-speaking part of Delta State. Ezeife told Sunday Punch that: “It is not atonement for the many neglects and insults that have happened with the National Security and Civil Defense 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.
