Ex-governor of Abia State in the South-East region and serving Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has begged President Bola Tinubu, to give his region one more ministerial slot.
Kalu, who is representing Abia North Senatorial District, however extolled Tinubu for what he described as showing Nigeria’s diversity with his ministerial list.
The lawmaker who made the appeal on Friday on his Facebook page wrote, “For me, the president has demonstrated the capacity of understanding the diversity and geographical spread of Nigeria.
“I know many people will be complaining that some zones get more, and some did not get more, yes, it is in order, the constitution provides that every state must have one.
“But I appeal that he should give South-East one more to be able to have the sixth one that they used to have.
“To be honest with you, the ministerial list has shown that the president will understand the fundamental problems of Nigerians. Tinubu has shown an understanding of the rudiments of political processes.”
Tinubu on Wednesday transmitted 19 names in his second batch of ministers to the Nigerian senate for screening.
