Igbo investors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have called on the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari to consider them when appointing a minister for the FCT, saying they control over 70 per cent of investment in the territory.
Speaking on behalf of the investors during a media briefing in Abuja, the chairman of Zaudan Pazeri Property Owners Association, Elder Friday Ugoala, said the interest of Igbos who have massive investments in the city should be considered when appointing a minister.
He recommended that an Igbo man should be either be made a minister with an indigene as the minister of state or vice versa.
“It is on record that Igbos are key players in terms ownership of property, merchandise and hospitality outfits in the territory, and can lay a claim to over 70 per cent investment in the FCT.
“We have reasons to demand for the slot of a FCT Minister to ensure our investments are protected. If you consider the outgoing administration of Sen. Bala Mohammed, you will see a lot of litigations that has to do with our investments. We do not want such trend to continue. We even look forward to a situation whereby those issues in the court would be withdrawn and settled amicably.
“There are two major stakeholders in the FCT, the political and economic stakeholders; the indigenes fall on the political stakeholders because they control over 65 per cent of FCT population. So, it could be justice done to these two stakeholders, if the FCT ministerial slots are given to both of them with due respect to other residents," he stressed.
