Ohanaeze cries foul over shake-up in NNPC

The apex socio political Organization of Ndigbo, the Ohanaeze,
has appealed to President Muhammedu Buhari to revisit the recent
reorganisation at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation in the
interest of peace, unity and good governance.

Ohanaeze said in a statement signed by its President General,
Chief John Nwodo in Abuja on Sunday, that it is appalled at the
consistent and unrepentant disposition of disdain for the
South-East by Buhari administration as copiously displayed in the
recent reorganisation at the NNPC.

The apex body said that it had thought that after the
President’s declaration in a broadcast recently that Nigeria unity
had been settled and not negotiable, that he would take all
necessary actions in his governance to achieve it, but the recent
NNPC shake-up has not shown that the administration is walking its
talk.

Nwodo said that Buhari administration, as shown in the new
managers just announced tilting clearly in favour of the North,
with the South-East totally ignored, as has always been the case
since Buhari administration came to office.

The Ohanaeze leader noted that ” this brazen disregard,
marginalization and non-compliance with the Federal character
provisions in our constitution are the causes of lack of confidence
which our youths have in our present governance structure.

As long as President Buhari continues to live out his speech
abroad that his government will favour those who voted 97 per cent
for him against those who voted 5% for him so long will the
dissatisfaction and unrest in our polity subsist.”
