Consider An Igbo Man To Replace Late Chief Of Army Staff General Attahiru - Reno Omokri Tells President Buhari

Reno Omokri and President Muhammadu Buhari

Former Presidential aide and author, Reno Omokri has asked President Buhari to consider an Igbo military officer to replace the former Chief of Army Staff. Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, who lost his life in the tragic air crash last Friday, May 21.

According to Reno, this move will help cease the fight of secessionists. 

He Wrote;

''The best way to fight the rise of secessionists in the Southeast is not with guns, bullets and helicopter gunships. Give them development. Stop your nepotism. Be fair and balanced in your appointments. Consider an Igbo man to replace General Attahiru. Abandon the 97% versus 5% mentality.

Lose your Igbophobia.

Visit each Igbo state (Buhari has not visited Igboland since the 2019 election). Make Igbo monarchs pro-chancellors of federal universities in Northern Nigeria. Genuinely pursue an extra state for the Southeast in the Constitutional Reform process, so they are equal with other geopolitical zones. Encourage a major political party to consider an Igbo Presidential candidate. Embrace Igbos and Igbos will embrace Nigeria''
