Former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said that some south easterners fight against the appointment of their kinsmen in government.
Amaechi stated this during a meeting with South-South and South-East Professionals of Nigeria in Lagos. He said apart from the security sector ,there is no lopsided appointment by President Buhari.
He said, “We complain about lopsided appointments. Apart from the area of security, have you checked other areas side by side? The President will appoint someone from the South East and people from the same region will fight against the appointment, if you are the President, how will you feel,” he added.
He said, “We fight a lot among ourselves. In South-South and South East, we fight amongst ourselves. I’m saying this so that we can separate emotions from reality. Today it is not about President Buhari, it is about us. This administration is doing a lot, but because it’s President Buhari, we pretend not to see it.”
