Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of deliberately excluding the South East from Nigeria’s political equation.
The Sokoto governor said people from the South-East feel cheated because Buhari keeps excluding them in the scheme of things, thereby heightening the insecurity in the region.
Tambuwal said this while meeting with Imo State delegates under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He said; “Buhari has shortchanged the South-East. I was the one who advised Bukola Saraki to choose Ike Enweremadu to become his Deputy in 2015.”
He said no head of the ten major parastatals in the country or Service Chiefs is from the Southeast which shows the level at which they have been excluded.
“There’s a complete case of exclusion of the people of South East. None of the heads of the ten most important parastatals is from the South-East, including the CBN governor.
“None of the service chiefs is from the South-East,” Tambuwal said.
