“Noooooo!!”- Ngige Booed In Enugu For “Defending Buhari’s Sectional Appointments”

​Nigeria’s minister of labour and productivity, Senator Chris Ngige was on Monday booed in Enugu as he made efforts to defend President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointments.

There have been knocks on Buhari over his appointments since he assumed office, as they are believed to be totally sectional.

The South-East region, which has no representation among the Service Chiefs, has continued to groan over the situation.

At the town hall meeting organized by the Federal Government on Monday at the Nike Lake Resort, Enugu, the lop-sided appointments took the centre stage.

Also in the front burner was issue of the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, as the Ohanaeze Ndigbo vowed to resist any move by a certain cabal to remove him.

While Ngige struggled to convince the gathering, they repeatedly shouted “No oooo”, to him.

Ngige had tried to defend President Buhari by stating that anyone in position of authority would work with people he could trust.

He cited Enugu State as an example, noting erroneously that the Chief of Staff to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi must be from Nsukka, the Governor’s zone.

However, the people of South-East at the meeting faulted him immediately, maintaining that Governor Ugwuanyi’s Chief of Staff was from Abia State and not Nsukka.
