Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha shakes President Muhammadu Buhari
Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to consider the South-East in his appointments.
Okorocha also said that it’s too early to judge Buhari’s intentions based on the appointments he had already made.
Okorocha made the comments over the weekend while meeting with stakeholders in the state.
He said:
“What I can only do is
to continue to appeal to the president to consider the South-East in
his appointments. And as far as I am concerned, the president had
executed what the office empowers him to do, and it is believed that he
did that in the best interest of the nation.”
“Again,
most of the appointments the president has so far made are like his
personal staff. I don’t think South-East will ever be forgotten in this
administration, we will get our due. In fact, if you ask me, I would say
we should be more interested in the projects coming down to the
South-East, and as much as we can get. The projects will bring about
development of the South-East.”
“On the
appointments as they concern the South-East, there is no cause for
alarm. It is too early in the day to begin to judge Buhari’s intention. I
think he means well. Let us give him a chance. Nigeria is one nation. A
nation for all of us. We must start thinking about the nation rather
than thinking about sentiment of where we come from.”
“Although
the South-East had expected so much, we believe all will be well with
the Buhari presidency and for the development of the South-East. It is
wrong for some people to begin to use the issue to incite the people of
the South-east against the president. The government is about to
celebrate its one hundred days, and the appointments are just beginning
to come, and by and large, the South-East will get their dues.”
“The
point is that we cannot begin to judge President Buhari with the
appointments so far made. We cannot obviously use it to judge his
intention. I think he means well for the nation and with every
geo-political zone inclusive. So, let us give him a chance.”
Buhari has been criticized for his recent appointments which many say show a bias towards the North.
