Tinubu’s Appointments Will Unite Nigeria, Says Ohanaeze Youths Council

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, yesterday, lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his appointments.

The council applauded Tinubu, particularly, for appointing an Igbo as one of the service chiefs.

Tinubu had on Monday sacked service chiefs and announced their replacements. One of them, Rear Admiral E.A Ogalla, who is named the Chief of Naval Staff, is from Enugu State.

In a statement, the National President of the Igbo group, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, said Tinubu took a bold step towards national healing, as he promised the citizens.

Okwu said: “For eight years, we cried, we shouted on top of our voices that no Igbo man is among the top security echelon of the country, but former President Muhammadu Buhari turned deaf ears.”

Okwu described the appointment of Ogalla as a “a clear testimony to Tinubu’s desire to reunite the country.”

He said: “Mr. President’s actions so far have given hope to Nigerians that good things are ahead. This also came a few days after our own Frank Mba, another Igbo son, was promoted from AIG to DIG of police.”

He urged Ndigbo to give the Tinubu government maximum support, stressing: “We are certain he has good plans for the country and will carry everyone along.”
