The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has highlighted why President Muhammadu Buhari should appoint an Igbo as his new Chief of Staff.
In a statement on Sunday, they described the passing of Abba Kyari, as a “colossal loss”.
Buhari, had in a tribute, penned that Kyari was his loyal friend of 42 years and an individual who “never wavered in his commitment to the betterment of every one of us”
A statement by Okechukwu Isiguzoro, OYC President and Okwu Nnabuike, the Secretary, prayed God to give Buhari the fortitude to bear the demise, grant Kyari’s soul mercy and forgive his shortcomings.
They, however, appealed to Buhari to “look inward, make amendments and clear doubts about his stance as the father of Nigeria” by appointing replacement from the Igbo speaking areas of Niger-Delta or South-East.
OYC noted that there were capable and trusted allies of the president since his entrance into politics in 2003 to date.
The group said an Igbo Chief of Staff will unite the country, end secessionist movement in the South, add transparency to governance and ensure strategic stability of the economy.
“This is the most patriotic but rare opportunity for President Muhammadu Buhari to heal Nigeria from disintegration and collapse. In retrospect, it was an Igbo who masterminded the amalgamation of defunct political parties to merge into APC.
Ohanaeze Youths added that the Nigerian leader can “rewrite history by being contradictory to predictions and prove his legitimate political sagacity through the appointment of an Igbo from anywhere as the new Chief of Staff, even from the opposition party,” OYC said.
