The Progressive Peoples Alliance has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to balance all his appointments so that justice can be done to all zones in the country.
The National Chairman of the PPA, Peter Ameh, in a statement on Saturday emphasised that the President shouldn’t ignore minority voters who stood their ground to cast their votes.
Ameh said “It will be a very big pain and disappointment for those minority voters, who stood their ground to cast their votes for him, to so treat their people in this lopsided manner.
“It is painful to see that the South-East zone, which constitutes the third leg of the tripod on which Nigerian nation was built as of independence and even today, has been conspicuously missing from all the sensitive appointments so far made since his resumption of office as our dear President.
“It is our humble opinion that there should be some sense of fairness, equity and balance in all appointments at the federal level so that justice can be seen to be done to all zones of the country.
“The recent appointment of President Muhammadu Buhari may be seen as a further confirmation of the fears of Nigerians about a perceived regional agenda of the present government.
“The APC is blessed with stalwarts and gatekeepers from all zones of the country, including members from the South-East, who staked everything to canvass support for the party in their zones. So many friends of the President, like Ogbonnaya Onu, who contributed so much for the successes recorded by APC, contributed to their (APC’s) victory at the polls.”
