Ohanaeze
kicks as Buhari appoints Usman Alkali Baba as Acting IGP
Ohanaeze condemns appointment
Meanwhile, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo
Worldwide, has condemned the appointment of a Deputy Inspector-General of
Police, Usman Baba, as acting Inspector-General of Police. The group said the
injustice of the Federal Government was responsible for the growing agitations
and insecurity in the South-East.
Ohanaeze National Publicity Secretary, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, stated this in an
interview, said it was most unfortunate that the President had chosen to
sideline the people of the South-East in his recent appointment of service
chiefs and now in the appointment of an IGP.
He said: “It is unjust and unfair to sideline the South-East in the security
architecture of the country. Injustice promotes insecurity; it promotes all
forms of crisis and problems. With injustice, there is no peace anywhere.
“What is happening in South-East today in form of agitations is as a result of
injustice. So, we the elders are put in a great dilemma because the younger
generation is attacking us and we have been telling them to hold on believing
that the president would have a change of mind.
“We thought that the president would be concerned about the level of injustice,
agitations and crisis we have in the South-East and would try to ameliorate
these things but unfortunately, he is not thinking towards that direction. It
is most unfortunate and Ohanaeze will come up with a stronger statement.”
