An All-Progressives Congress chieftain in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has warned that Nigeria will suffer huge consequences if it neglects the South-East zone.
Igbokwe disclosed this in a statement on Saturday through his Facebook verified account.
His comments come amid controversies that had trailed appointments under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Recall that a senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, tackled the Tinubu 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.”
