Appoint The Inspector General Of Police From The South-East,Clergy To Buhari

With less than two months to the
retirement of the Inspector-General of
Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, clergymen of
Igbo extraction have called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to appoint one of their
kinsmen as his successor.
They also called on Buhari to reach out in
person to Fulani herdsmen in the country
so as to end attacks against farmers and
other innocent people.
The clergymen under the aegis of Rehemi
Foundation and Association of United Igbo
Gospel Ministers, at a
press briefing held
on Saturday in Abuja, stated that the
President should appoint the next police
boss from the East.
Spokesperson for the group and President
of Rehemi Foundation, Air Vice Marshal
Robert Konye Ekezie (retd.), said it was
time for Buhari to “right the wrongs, as the
tenure of the present indefatigable
Inspector-General of Police comes to an
end in June. It is about time the Igbo man
enjoyed his inalienable right as a Nigerian,
without the constant harassment and
vilification from other tribes.”
Ekezie added, “It is not news that the Igbo
is the favourite for attack by any group of
mercenaries or disgruntled elements in
Nigeria. The recent attack on Nimbo
Community, Uzo-Uwani Local Government
Area of Enugu State by suspected Fulani
herdsmen follows a pattern. It is a
continuous war on Igbo’s man existence.

“The constant attack on the Igbos by
mercenaries, religious fundamentalists, and
other disgruntled groups must stop. An
Igbo cannot go to another tribe to wage
war against the natives. If he’s ever there,
it is for commercial purpose.”
The clergymen therefore called on
President Buhari to appeal to Fulani
herdsmen to shun violent attacks against
Igbo people.
“Our dear president, who is the number
one father, should treat every Nigerian,
irrespective of tribe and religion as his
children, with the same responsibility to
all,” Ekezie said.
