A group representing the people of South East Nigeria, the Ndigbo Cultural Society of Nigeria (NCSN) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over the appointment of Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu as the Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
The group said the appointment of the new NNPC GMD who is from Delta State in South south Nigeria has shown that the President listened to the outcry of Nigerians over the imbalance in the appointments he has made so far.
“The appointment of Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu from Delta State South-South Nigeria, to head Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is a step in the right direction, even though it is still a far cry but Ndigbo welcomes it with a standing ovation,” Chief Udoka Udeogaranya, President of the Group said in statement.
The Group however asked the President Buhari not to allow anything or counsel to stop him from appointing a South-Easterner to the only remaining principal office of his government, the office of the Secretary to the Federal Government (SGF), otherwise he would be running a government that undermines Ndigbo nation and that may not encourage loyalty from Ndigbo.
The Group also wished the President well and urged all sons and daughters of Ndigbo to him a chance and due respect as the father of the nation

ETHNIC BIGOTS IS ALL I SEE,RISE YOUR HANDS UP FOR ONE NAIJA NOT REGION OR ZONE.
All these funny groups, is the man not Nigerian? what does it matter where he comes from. All that is important is competence and not all these needless commendation and pity party stance.
I don’t see any benefit that follows if any body from my tribe is given any high post in government. What is important is to appoint a credible person which will be significantly beneficial to the generality of all Nigerians. This ethnicity thing should stop. We are in the 21st century.
