In a recent post, renowned author and social critic, Reno Omokri, shed light on President Bola Tinubu’s decision to appoint ex-Governor Nyesom Wike as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). CONTINUE READING
Omokri noted the historical significance of this decision, marking it as the first time a Southerner has been appointed as FCT Minister since 1976, when Mobolaji Ajose-Adeogun was handed the role by then Head of State, General Olusegun Obasanjo.
Omokri’s analysis presents a historical parallel between 1976 and the present day, pointing out that both FCT ministerial appointees from the South were chosen by fellow Southerners. But beyond this observation, Omokri raised a more poignant issue regarding the original inhabitants of the FCT.
He highlighted the plight of the indigenous people of the area, who despite being the original inhabitants, have never been considered for the ministerial position. With the recent nomination of Zephaniah Jisalo, an indigene of the FCT, hopes had surged within the local community. However, these were dashed with Wike’s appointment. CONTINUE READING
Omokri’s critique underscores the perceived neglect and lack of representation of the original indigenes of the FCT in Nigeria’s political landscape. His commentary raises important questions about inclusivity, representation, and the dynamics of political appointments in Nigeria.
