Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) from the South-East region of the country. The group, in a statement in Abakaliki on Thursday, said that will give the zone a sense of belonging in the President’s second tenure. The statement signed by the President-General of OYC also congratulated the new National Assembly leadership elected on Tuesday. We appeal to the Presidency to allow South-East to replace North-East in the position of SGF since North-East now is having the position of Senate President”The group also called for synergy and cooperation from all South-East governors and the Presidency. We congratulate all those that emerged Speakers in the South-East, and urge them to enact laws that will end the atrocities of herdsmen in the South-East by ensuring that the dreaded Bakassi Boys are returned with a special mandate to engage the armed herdsmen in the South East,” the group concluded.
