Speaking with newsmen in Enugu, Monday, on Buhari’s key appointment, including Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Nwaorgu stated appeal to Ndigbo to remain calm had become necessary due to numerous telephone calls from aggrieved Ndigbo who have all been complaining on the Situation.

According to him, some Ndigbo who have called on the issue had queried “whether Ndigbo are still regarded as part of Nigeria.”

The Ohanaeze factional Scribe urged Ndigbo not to over react either by word or otherwise to exclusion.
