President Buhari Will Cede Some Positions To The South-East – Okorocha

2 Min Read

Following the public outcry that greeted the announcement of persons to occupy key positions in the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government which has so far left the South-East out of scheme of things, the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha has doused tension coming from the zone by assuring them the region would get its fair share of representation in the Buhari-led government.

The Governor said there was no cause for alarm, as it was too early in the day to judge the President’s intentions and reason for his appointments which some persons in the region had questioned, saying it was one-sided.

Governor Okorocha, who spoke after a meeting with political leaders in the State, explained that, as the Commander in Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari had exercised what the constitution allowed him to do.

He said that his recent interactions with the President, made him more confident that Buhari’s administration meant well for the entire nation, including the south-east.

Governor Okorocha, however, said he would continue to appeal to the President to consider the south-east in subsequent appointments even though, the people of the south-east were more interested in projects and programmes that would bring about rapid development for the people.
