Jonathan has great confidence in Igbos —Turaki

MINISTER of Special Duties and Inter Governmental Affairs, Alhaji Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, has commended Igbos for their support to the Federal Government, saying that the government has also reciprocated by appointing them into sensitive positions. Receiving a powerful delegation of the Igbo World Union (IWU) on behalf of President Jonathan, on Tuesday evening, at his office in Abuja, Turaki praised Igbos for standing behind the president and the Federal Government and urged them to continue to support the administration. The minister, who received the IWU who were accompanied by the President’s Special Adviser on Ethics and Values, Mrs Sarah Jibril, said that “Mr President has given prominent sons and daughters of Igboland key positions in managing this country’s economy. It is a reflection of the confidence Mr President has in the Igbo nation. “That we can get this kind of support from the IWU, people who have traversed the length and breadth of the world, is heart-warming,” the minister said. Turaki also recalled that another worthy son of Igboland, Senator Pius Anyim Pius, was appointed as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
