Buhari fair to all regions: Senator Enang, HOS Oyo-Ita

Senator Enang

Sen. Eta Enang, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), has said that the claim by some Nigerians of lopsided federal appointments in the country was untrue.

Enang made the remark on Wednesday in Abuja at a reception organised by Akwa-Cross Association in the Public Service.

He said that President Muhammadu Buhari followed strictly the principles of Federal Character in all federal appointments.

He said: “He (Buhari) has given us the Chief of Naval Staff, a very high ranking officer in the Federal Security Council.



“He has given us the minister of Budget and then, my humble self as the Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters. He has also given us the minister of Niger Delta Affairs.

“In the entire South-South region, he gave us Minister of Transportation in charge of about three ministries merged together. He also gave us the Minister of Petroleum.

“When I see people trying to incite others against the president over matters of appointment, I conclude that they are being unfair.

“That is why we gathered here today to appraise the appointments and to appreciate the president,’’ he said.

Enang said that despite the president’s tight schedule, he had visited some states in the South-South to commission projects.

He added that President Buhari had visited Cross River State to inaugurate construction of the international super highway from Cross River to Cameroon and other countries in West and Central Africa.
