Former Chairman of Police Service Commission, PSC, Chief Simon Okeke has expressed confidence that the President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (Retd) would be capable of handling the affairs of the country, even as he predicted that Buhari might face hard time “because our foreign reserve has gone down badly.”
He said he was optimistic that Buhari would steer the affairs of the nation to stardom, since he has all it takes to better a bad position, even with the present status of the nation’s economy which he said is not in an enviable status.
Okeke, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who spoke to newsmen at his Akatar Lodge country home, Amichi in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, said those defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC now or to other parties because of the party’s victory at the federal level were political prostitutes with no political maturity.
According to him, all the PDP had to do was to go back to the drawing table and get it right for next time, adding that personally, he had no reason to defect to the APC as he was no longer looking for any political appointment or anything that would distract him from his advisory role as a statesman in Igbo land and Nigeria in general.
He advised Ndigbo to start to think politically and strategically for them not to gravitate into minority in the scheme of things.
On the recent utterances made against Ndigbo by Oba of Lagos, Rilwanu Akiolu, Okeke equated it to the indigenisation decree of 1972 which authorized the forfeiture of properties of Ndigbo in Port Harcourt and the aftermath of civil war release of only 20 Pounds to every Igbo man, no matter how much savings he had in banks.
