Anambra State Governor, Willy Obiano, has urged the President-elect, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (retd), to appoint Igbo into prominent positions while forming his cabinet.
He said the forthcoming
Buhari’s administration would require the support of all Nigerians irrespective
of their party affiliations to success.
Obiano spoke after a
closed-door meeting with the President-elect at his private residence in Abuja
on Friday.
The governor said he
was in Abuja not only to congratulate the President-elect and reassure him of
the support of the South-East, but also to plead with him to consider Anambra
indigenes for appointments.
Obiano said, “I am also
here to reassure him that Anambra and the South-East would support him. I also
pleaded with him on some pressing problems that are of importance to the
South-East like the second Niger bridge and some of the federal roads.
“We also pleaded in the
area of appointment for the people of Anambra and of course, for people from
the South-East be it ministerial, ambassadorial and what have you.”
The governor, however,
dismissed insinuation that his visit was part of consultations to pave way for
him to defect to the All Progressives party.
