Much have been said on the assumed hatred of Mr #President against the people of the South East geopolitical zone. However, the prudence from benefit of doubt assumes us a responsibility of eschewing the fallacy of hasty generalization. Let us believe that President Muhammadu #Buhari is not against the Igbo people. The view that he has plans and mind to accommodate the south East could still hold water. Still, the history, dynamics, rudiments and culture of Nigerian politics have rendered trust a non available feature in the Nigerian political market.



That appointment of three people must be balanced when you are still at the elementary stage of appointments. Oyegun pleaded and asked for a hold of breath for a little more time. He argued that the ministerial list has not come. That chairmanship of boards has not. But it seems like the disciples of inner circle for the administration have emerged and mostly of northern extract.

According to the embattled Oyegun,there are so many first rate appointments that are still coming down the line. Such that in his thinking, the ones that have happened are less specialized and to that end, there should be less severity of governance attached to them.

So it will be unfair to make three appointments and everybody expects to see one from A,one from B and one from C. To this, Ohanaeze would say that the appointments so far were the only areas where Mr President would have shown that he is detribalized by considering every stakeholder in the Nigeria project to be counted. They maintained that ministerial appointment won’t be a kind gesture to the south East because it is their constitutional right.

Hence, trying to strike out the argument that it is when the total package is presented that we start looking at the possibility of a fair assessment but is it supposed to be so? However, on the above, we still hold that it might still be too early to make a fair submission against a four years administration still in its few months.

But when we judge by the #APC national chairman’s assertion that security agencies must be given due attention in the areas of requirements, of the times and reality of the security situation in the country, appointments so far are too specialized. The President contradicted his “everybody, nobody” inaugural speech by the statement accredited to him. Whereby the zones that gave him less votes should not expect equal treatment from him in comparison to the zones that gave him more.

To that, we tend to raise some questions.They are:

1.Should we take it that he would treat each zone according to the vote he got from them?

2.Does this encourage or discourage tribalism? Are we tempted to conclude that the South East lacks military men of high security consciousness, integrity and qualifications for the status of a service chief?

3.Does the intended pruning down of ministerial portfolio, a mastermind to ensure total ouster of the South East geopolitical zone in the main scheme of Nigeria’s polity?

4.What then will be the standard for plotting the graph of service delivery and marginal utility of our democratic dividends?

5.Should the President, appoint a minister from the South East and South South or even the South West on a balance pedestal with their northern counterparts,would it be seen as a display of his detribalized disposition or is it when he must have compensated the marginalized zones in present appointments with an increase to balance their non inclusion in the previous?

6.Would there be a constitutional redress,should the States in the South East fail to be considered at all for major ministerial appointments? Is it then, if it happens that the South East would be justified by crying foul? What will be the general reaction, when 95% goes to the North at the total compilation of all appointments and political offices?

We are still keeping our fingers crossed. I am only an onlooker in the Nigerian political arena.

My dear op, the President has since been contradicting himself. As for "I belong to everybody and to nobody" it is just a political statement which I am sure the daura man didn't even know the meaning of that when he read it out from the well written inaugural speech handed over to him to read.

OP, this is the reason why the Igbos are calling for Biafra
