Northern Elders Knock Buhari Over Service Chiefs’ Appointments.



A group of Northern elders have commended President Muhammadu Buhari for finally taking action by sacking the nation’s service chiefs and appointing new ones in their stead.

They, however, condemned the president for excluding South East from the appointments, saying the president’s action against the Igbo nation was inimical to the unity and one-Nigeria project of Nigeria’s founding fathers.



The elders, under the aegis of the Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and Development (CNEPD), urged the president to balance the equation by reviewing the appointments to reflect the nation’s federal character principle.

The elders, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja and signed by their National Coordinator, Engr. Zana Goni, also urged President Buhari to review the appointment of the military heads to reflect fairness and equity.

The group, which had relentlessly clamoured for the sack of the service chiefs over worsening insecurity in the country and perceived low morale in the military following tenure elongation of the former security heads, thanked President Buhari for eventually taking action by relieving them.

“We completely throw our weight behind Ohanaeze Ndigbo on their position over the appointments of the new service chiefs.

“We appeal to Mr President for a review of the appointments to accommodate our Igbo brothers from the South East in line with the federal character principle of the country,” they said.

They added that the sacking of the former service chiefs by Mr President and the reaction of Nigerians showed that the president listened to the clarion call by Nigerians to that effect.

“However, the composition of the service chiefs greeted us with mixed feelings and sincere concerns.

“We strongly believe that the list does not meet a fair list as it is lacking in fairness, justice, and equity to the south easterners.

“We thought some lessons would have been learnt by the Presidency by now that the Igbos too, are also Nigerians and deserve to be fairly and godly treated.

“How can there be the appointment of two sets of service chiefs without any Igbo person among them?

“Our careful checks revealed that Igbos have senior and qualified military officers in the Navy, Army, and Airforce who are serving faithfully in their various capacities.

“We have seen how the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and several Igbo groups are fighting Nnamdi Kanu and his group, the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on a daily basis because they believe and act one Nigeria,” they insisted.

They, therefore, urged the President to have a retrospection over this his latest appointments and do the needful by appointing a service chief from the South-east.

I think Buhari is too emotional to be a president of a polarized nation such as this.

Take it or leave it, Buhari can no more hide his disdain for the Igbos. It's very clear for the blind to see.

Me I think say, as a president of a Nation, sometimes you have to learn how to pretend to be in love with some certain people even if they have hurt you and it's heard to let go, just for the sake of peaceful and harmonious co existence.

This is what we call, "diplomacy".

But Buhari doesn't understand this !

You cannot openly show one of the major tribes in Nigeria that you hate them.
Even though, we know how hostile the Igbos have been to his government. But then as a leader, you have to understand the role of diplomacy.

Okay...



When we talk about the North, we know who and who we speak of. Everybody isn't without a conscience over there.


These elders have resolved to take a break from the land grabbing project and sit on the Truth for once, unlike others who are either looking for International investigators to tackle, or prophets to give ultimata.

As for the president, if sidelining the Igbos is in a bid to limit Arm and Force, then he is nothing more than myopic.

Five percenters or a thousand percenters, they keep keep on keeping on.

This one will pain the witches and wizards from the waste side. Despite all their asslicking and slave attitude which they hoped will make their masters to love them and hate Igbos, Northerners can still see beyond their facade.
