Ohanaeze To Buhari: Shun Ethnic Chauvinism, Exhibit Open Mind In Your Appointments

The Igbo pan African Group, Ohanaeze, has advised president Muhammadu Buhari to shun ethnic chauvinism and exhibit open mind in his appointments as the new year begins.

Ohanaeze was reacting to Buhari’s new year’s address to Nigerians he made on Wednesday.

The group’s Publicity Secretary, Prince Uche Achi-Ogbaga, disclosed this in a press statement, stressing that, if the President could look beyond Fulani/Islamic divide to tackle the problems, Nigeria would be better for it.

The statement reads in part “The problem of insecurity and the nose-diving economy are interrelated and the common denominator is ethnic chauvinism. If he could look beyond the Fulani/Islamic divide to bring the security and economic experts from any part of the country, the story will be different.

“The security apparatus is left in the hands of a particular ethnic group. So, when security chiefs meet, be it the police, military and other paramilitary agencies, it is one ethnic group of the country that gather to x-ray the security challenges and it becomes difficult for them not to be prejudiced, wittingly or unwittingly, in their decisions.

“It is the same with the economy. You do not play ethnic politics with the economy of a country. Note that if the government is able to fix security, economy and education every other thing will fall in line.”
