Buhari's brash insensitivity to the South is on the rampage again as he appoints another Northerner,Ibrahim Mustafa Magu to replace Ibrahim Lamorde as the new head of EFCC. It is easy to relate with Femi Kayode's outrage as Buhari has relentlessly enthroned nepotism and sectionalism under the guise of looking for "competence and meritocracy" in making key strategic appointments. How long Nigerians will tolerate this tendency is another question. The impression must not be allowed to gain ground that there are no "saints" in the South to head EFCC!
On the pro-Biafra march,the authorities should not treat it with disdain or resort to hardball tactics.It remains a peaceful protest.To treat it otherwise will backfire.Attention should be paid to their grievances,not with scorn but compassion. A word is enough for the wise.
