The former President of defunct Onitsha Markets Amalgamated Traders Association, OMATA, Anambra state, Chief Gilbert Obi, has expressed dismay at the exclusion of Igbo people from the list of newly appointed service chiefs.
Answering questions from newsmen in his Onitsha office on Tuesday, Chief Obi explained that such action by the President indicated that the Ndigbo are not considered part and parcel of the entity called Nigeria.
He however charged the newly appointed service chiefs to work hard, be sincere and upright.
On the menace of Fulani herdsmen, the former OMATA President noted that it is not fair that one will go to the farm to cultivate and herdsmen will come with their cows and render the entire thing useless.
According to him, in developed countries open grazing is not practised and is regarded as old means of rearing cows.
Chief Obi noted that developed countries have more cows than are in Nigeria, but that one does not see them grazing in the open.
The Ex OMATA boss also reacted to the coming 2021 Anambra state gubernatorial election, saying that the governor-to-be must come from Anambra South Senatorial District as he is an advocate of rotational administration.
