Group attacks Buhari over lopsided promotions

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari over the alleged lopsided promotions in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
According to the group, Buhari’s decision not to approve the promotion of any Bayelsa state manager in the NNPC, to general manager is totally condemnable and unacceptable.

PRESIDENT BUHARI


IYC has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari over the alleged lopsided promotions in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). In a statement signed by IYC spokesman Eric Omare and made available to NAIJ.com, the group said:

“The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide rejects in its entirety the lopsided promotions in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) which was approved by President Buhari.

“President Buhari recently approved the promotion of 109 Managers to General Managers. Out of the 109 Managers that were promoted to General Managers, 20 were allocated to the south-south. In the south- south, Delta got 8, Cross Rivers 4, Edo (4), Akwa Ibom (2), Rivers (2), while Bayelsa state got none. It is significant to note that there are five (5) eminently qualified Bayelsa Managers in the NNPC who can be promoted to General Managers.”

The IYC added: “This is totally condemnable and unacceptable. It is a deliberate attack on the Ijaw Nation. Since assumption of office, President Buhari has been anti-ijaw in his appointments in the deliberate exclusion of Bayelsa state from key federal appointments in fragrant violation of the federal character principle enshrined in the 1999 Constitution (as amended). It would be recalled that Buhari excluded Bayelsa state from his earlier appointment of Ambassadors.
The IYC strongly feel that these actions are been taken to punish the Ijaw and Bayelsa people because of former President Jonathan who is an Ijaw and from Bayelsa state.
“The recent NNPC promotion is one oppressive decision too may and very provocative considering the fact that the NNPC exists because of the oil resources found in Ijaw land. The Buhari’s policy of exclusion must stop for Nigeria to make progress.

The Ijaw people are been pushed to the wall and we may be forced to act. We demand that this oppressive and lopsided promotion in the NNPC against the Ijaw people should be immediately corrected in the interest of peace in Nigeria.”
The IYC attack on Buhari comes just after it urged the president to call security agents to order following the indiscriminate arrests of Ijaw and other Niger Delta youths.

The group advised the federal government not to use the renewed militancy in the Niger Delta as a political tool to arrest and silence opposing voices in the Niger Delta region.
