Apparently worried that no Igboman or woman is in the apex security architecture in the country, the South-east governors have renewed agitation, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint a service chief from the zone.

The Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum and Ebonyi State Governor, Chief David Umahi, disclosed to newsmen in Abakaliki that one of the major demands the forum requested from the president during their recent meeting was for a service Chief from the South-east.

However, THISDAY gathered that with the promotion of former Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police, Peace Ibekwe Abdallah, to the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police, she is the highest ranking Igbo officer in Nigeria’s security architecture.

The governor added that though the request was not reported on media, the demand is not new as it was one of the things that the people of the zone have been clamouring for, to address some of the issues of marginalisation against Ndigbo.

He noted that the way Nigeria security apparatus was structured does not reflect the federal character principle which is enshrined in 1999 Constitution as amended, and therefore called for concerted effort to address the imbalance, stressing that South-east would not shy away from the development from the federal government because they are PDP zone.

Umahi said: “One thing newspaper did not report is that we also requested for a service chief from South-east. We don’t have any and all that we requested are not new, they have been the things our people have been clamoring for.

“South-east visited the president to talk about the delay in the construction of federal roads, the international airport, the bridge we do extreme politics in Nigeria. Politics should be separated from the welfare of the people. It was a positive one. We must separate politics from reality. South-east will not say because they are PDP they should shy away from the development from the federal government. For me that is stupidity.

“We are not campaigning for anybody but we must say that the welfare of southeast, the problem of South-east, the future of southeast is beyond partisan politics”.

He added that every arrangement was on top gear for the Ebonyi state government to receive President Muhammadu Buhari on a one-day working visit on January, 2019 where the president would commission the glass tunnel named after him in the state.

It seems these SE governors don't really believe Atiku will emerge as the next President, for them to be making this sort of request to Buhari at this point in time. Under normal circumstances they would wait till Atiku becomes president to table this sort of request to him instead.

S/East governors know "Atiku" which means "we are dead" in Yoruba cannot defeat Buhari in an election, even with the help of rigging machines..

zombie rants


I expect nothing much from your likes

Ok

This is why I like Igbos.. 97% of them have already endorsed Atiku, but in a final bid to send Buhari back to Daura, they are agitating for service chief.. What a Savage request!

these people don't really know what they want

you are trying to tell me that since 4 years ago now SE governors just realized you need service chief December 2018? So sad. Why don't you all let this Baba rest and look for someone else who can do the job very well. Can't you all see Nigeria is going down? Are you all blind?

Trust me.....you guys sure don't need one in his regime.....cos if he eventually does........he will post the person to the hottest part of the battle in the north east......he's that evil.....!

We don't need service chiefs, we are all asking for a Referendum.

That can be arranged. Buhari & Ndigbo are like 5 and 6.

Sai Baba all the way!

Who service thiefs chief epp.
Instead of them to demand for more development and how Fg will empower their people. Yeye leaders
If FG ask them to produce a candidate now, fight go start.

they know that....they are very intelligent.

they are seeing the future already

Not only service chief

This clearly shows that news going round about some South-East and South-South governors secretly working for Buhari is true.

Because you can't be asking for such position if you're convince that Buhari will be defeated come February 2019 election.

It shows that these people Dave Umahi, Willie Obiano, Ekweremadu and maybe Ugwuanyi does not believe in project Atiku/Obi.

Smart politicians i see in them, while Ohanaeze is busy deceiving the gullible Igbos to make another political mistake because of Atiku's dollar, the politicians in that zone are telling Ohanaeze that look we are wise now.

The way Buhari and Atiku will share votes in the South-East will make Atiku believe that he's been scammed by Ohanaeze. Though Atiku might win but the margin will not be too much.

The result that will make Atiku/Obi and Atikulate supporters weep in 2019 is Anambra PDP scores 800k while APC scores 500k. 300k margin

In Kano APC scores 3million while PDP scores 400k. 2.6million margin.

Kano's votes automatically cancels Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra, Imo and Enugu votes for PDP.

We are watching.

To send to BORNO?
Send the ones doing PYYHON DANCE!
You DUNCE!

Now you want Eastern Service Chiefs after retiring for killing them and all the South-South generals abi?

We know he will not hear, so we will use it as part of the strategy to campaign against the Next Devil.

Seconded.
