There'll Be Huge Consequences If Nigeria Continues To Neglect South-East - Joe Igbokwe

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has warned that there would be dire consequences if Nigeria continues to neglect the South-East zone.

Igbokwe disclosed this in a statement through his Facebook account on Saturday.

His comments come amid controversies that have trailed appointments under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

Recall that a senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, tackled Tinubu’s administration, saying that his lopsided appointments could boomerang.

However, according to the presidency, appointment under Tinubu’s administration is based on merit.

Reacting, Igbokwe said, “If Nigeria continues to treat the South-east as if the zone does not exist or does not matter, the consequences will be huge. The civil war has ended, but the scars are still there. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Neglect of SE is bad.”
