A group, the Movement for the Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to treat all ethnic nationalities in the country with fairness in the appointment of cabinet members.
It specifically charged Tinubu to carry the South East geopolitical zone along in the power equation, as advised by former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari.
MOSIEND national president, Kennedy Tonjo West, who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday, advised the president not to allow politicians advise him against the South East.
West said, “We are also of the view that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should take Dokubo’s advice seriously in order to give other ethnic nationalities a sense of belonging in his government.
“Asari meant well for the success and progress of Tinubu’s government and should be given listening ears in matters like this.
“President Tinubu should not allow politicians advise him against the Igbos. Politics and elections have come and gone; this is time for governance. Federal character principle should come alive under his watch.
“We are optimistic that Tinubu’s government will make a remarkable difference as compared to his successor however we urge him to give other ethnic and minority groups sense of belonging and inclusion in his government.”
