Ohanaeze Said, It’s A Disgrace On Igbo To Beg Buhari For Political Appointments

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Thursday described as a disgrace to the Igbo nation, the decision of some Igbo people to beg the president elect, General Muhammadu Buhari for appointments in his government that will take off on May 29, 2015.

President of Ohaneze in Anambra State, Chief Chris Eluomunoh, who is also the chairman of Ohaneze state presidents’ forum for the seven Igbo-speaking states, said at a news conference in Awka that issues of federal appointments were constitutional obligations which every president of Nigeria, irrespective of the voting pattern of a people in an election, must obey.

 He condemned in its entirety, the move by certain people who claimed to be representing the Igbo to be begging the president-elect for appointments for Ndigbo in his government.

According to him, Igbo nation is an integral part on Nigeria and must get their due share in Nigeria, adding that appointing Igbo people into offices should not in any way be regarded as doing them any favour.
