KENNETH OKONKWO SUES BUHARI OVER MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS

Barrister and actor, Kenneth Okonkwo
has sued President Buhari to Court over
ministerial appointments. The suit
which comes up in the Federal High
Court, Abuja with suit no: FHC/ ABJ /
CS / 34 / 16 was to compel the President
to appoint an indegene of the FCT as a
Minister in Nigeria.
Kenneth in a statement said:

"On November 11th, 2015, President
Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated 36 ministers
from the 36 states of Nigeria without
appointing an indigene of the Federal Capital
Territory as Minister. This is unconstitutional
and discriminatory and has led to tensions in
the FCT as the indigenes are becoming restive.
All efforts to get the President to appoint an
indegene of the FCT failed hence the need for
this suit to compel the President to do the
needful and avert a possible break down of law
and order with catastrophic consequences in
the FCT".
