Igbo think tank Aka Ikenga last night reacted with disbelief to the news of President Muhammadu Buhari’s continued shut-out of the South-East from his administration.
Aka Ikenga President, Chief Goddy Uwazurike, toldNews Express: “The appointments are truly frightening. Are we still practising democracy as enshrined in the constitution? Does section 14 still operate or has it been expunged? Federal character is central to the progress of this country. Aka Ikenga urges Mr President to ensure that this irreparable exclusion of Ndigbo is revised.”
