Delta South protests against two ministerial nominees from Delta Central urges senate to halt screening.

Delta South protests against two ministerial nominees from Delta Central urges senate to halt screening.

The people of Delta South have protested against the nomination of two ministerial nominees from Delta Central by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, insisting that it was Delta South Turn to produce the next federal minister in the state and not Delta Central.

The stakeholders said it was unacceptable for President Tinubu to appoint two ministers from Delta Central without considering Delta South which turn to produce the next minister of the state, stating that it will amount to injustice, marginalization and deprivation against the people of Delta South.

This is according to a statement signed on behalf of Delta South people by the national president of Ijaw People's Development Initiative, IPDI, comrade Ozobo Austin of which a copy was sent to newsmen on Saturday.

He said even on the ground that Isoko had produced the Delta South senator, Ijaw and Itsekiri should be allowed to produce the next minister from Delta South.

He gave details of previous ministerial appointees in the state, Kenneth Gbagi, education minister from Delta Central under Yaradua/Jonathan administration, God'sday Orubebe minister, Delta South under Goodluck Jonathan administration, Ibe Kachukwu from Delta North under Buhari first term, Festus Keyamo from Delta Central, under Buhari second term.

The people of Delta South said the appointment of two ministers from Delta Central by Tinubu was against federal character as it is unconstitutional and illogical.

The Delta South people call on the Nigerian Senate not to screen any of the ministerial nominees in Delta State to avoid a breakdown of law and order.

The leaders said the Youths of Delta South are very angry and tempted to go haywire following the injustice done to them. 

They are angry that despite the strong support and massive vote Tinubu got from Delta South, he decided to punish them with evil. He added that if not for the intervention of the leaders and stakeholders of Delta South, some youths might go haywire.

The angry stakeholders had called on President Buhari to withdraw one of the ministerial nominees from Delta Central and pick someone from Delta South to balance the injustice meted out against Delta South for peace and equity.
