Multiple reports have it that ace Nollywood actor and legal practitioner, Kenneth Okonkwo has filed a suit against President Muhammadu Buhari over ministerial appointments. It was gathered the suit which comes up in the Federal High Court, Abuja with suit no: FHC/ ABJ / CS / 34 / 16 is to compel President Buhari to appoint an indigene of the FCT as a Minister in Nigeria.
Speaking on the suit, Kenneth Okonkwo was quoted as saying, ‘on November 11th, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated 36 ministers from the 36 states of Nigeria without appointing an indigene of the Federal Capital Territory as Minister.”
“This is unconstitutional and discriminatory and has led to tensions in the FCT as the indigenes are becoming restive. All efforts to get the President to appoint an indigene of the FCT failed hence the need for this suit to compel the President to do the needful and avert a possible break down of law and order with catastrophic consequences in the FCT,” he added.

I am so disappointed this is coming from a man I so respect. Do we really need a minister in a state where the President and his entourage are domiciled? What will the minister be doing that Mr President can't handle? Come to think of it , wetin concern monkey with over heard bridge? Ken should be worried about what happens in his state and not FCT. Anyway, I guess its long we heard about him. He just want to be noticed
