There will be huge consequences if Nigeria continues to neglect South-East zone, says Igbokwe
A former Spokesman for the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has said there will be huge consequences if Nigeria continues to neglect the South East.
Igbokwe made the remarks in a statement posted on his official Facebook account on Saturday.
The APC Chieftain insisted that the issue runs deeper, referencing historical grievances.
“The civil war has ended, but the scars are still there. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Neglect of SE is bad,” he added.
“If Nigeria continues to treat the South-East as if the zone does not exist or does not matter, the consequences will be huge,” Igbokwe stated.
His reaction came amid ongoing debates over appointments made under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Responding to the growing concerns, the Presidency has defended its approach, stating that appointments under Tinubu are based on merit.
