A sociocultural organization known as Igbo Vanguard Group, IVG has expressed dissatisfaction with the reversal of the appointment of Hon Emeka Atuma, by the Presidency.
The announcement of Chief Atuma as the Chairman of South East Development Commission (SEDC) according to the Organization has erupted wild celebration across Ikwuano, Abia State and the Southeastern region, the group has claimed.
President Bola Tinubu effected a review of the management of the SEDC, relieving Hon Emeka Atuma of the chairmanship of the Commission and replacing him with Emeka Wogu.
The announcement was contained in a statement sent in by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, which also had it that the President also replaced all three executive directors initially nominated and named two additional executive directors.
Reacting to the development, the President General of IVG, Engr. Dr. James Nnadozie Uchegbuo, passionately called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to apply a soothing balm on the body of those who cherish the sterling qualities of Chief Atuma and reconsider him for a higher position.
The statement partly read, “The creation of SEDC has been the yearning of the Southeast zone since after the civil war for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Southeast region which was badly devastated during the civil war. And Chief Emeka Atuma popularly known as Mr. Developer has touched every life in the Southeast region and beyond even when he left the green chambers about 10 years ago. He has been doing a lot of job in almost all the Local Government Areas in the Southeast. No wonder the announcement of Chief Atuma as SEDC chairman received a positive uproar in the region. Being a honest politician, and a philanthropist, that is why the IVG is strongly praying to President Tinubu to review his decision”.
According to the Organization , Chief Atuma has all it takes to occupy any position in the country, first as a former parliamentarian, a strong supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC party faithful and a contractor per excellence, whose jobs have received accolades from the benefitting communities.
