The Anglican ArchBishop of the Enugu Province, Most Rev Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma yesterday while speaking to journalists at a town hall meeting organised by the Federal Ministry of Information in Enugu hs called the President, Muhammadu Buhari’s attention to the dissatisfaction of the citizens of the country especially as the Northern region appears to have received more favour in terms of key appointments as compared to other regions in the country.
The Anglican ArchBishop while speaking to journalists said: “Nigeria is negotiable because people are wounded; people are being sidelined and this is what is causing this spate of bombings by Avengers and all these people who are agitators”.
He continued: “The more you make Nigerians to know that they are part of the government and receive the social amenities and care, then there will be no need for us to talk about restructuring.
“Restructuring will surely be done because the way things are going, it has to be restructured. South-East is the only zone that has five states. You have to restructure because without restructuring there will be marginalization.”
“We need to know that Nigerians are Nigerians; to keep Nigeria as one is a task that must be done, but Nigerians must be carried along without any part being neglected in appointments, in infrastructure, and even when you see how they appoint some South-East people into government, it does not translate to
infrastructural development. It does not.”
He further noted: “this town hall meeting is an opening for the Minister to tell the President that we are not happy; we need to be carried along, we need to be recognized.
“But we appeal to our brothers, let us be patient and see what will happen and this town hall meeting should not just be a jamboree, it should be studied for implementation and action to take place as soon as possible.”
