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.
