The United States of America (U.S.) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to constitute a federal cabinet that would bridge perceived political divisions in the country as regards to the violent protests that travailed Nigeria’s presidential polls in some regions of the Northern States in the country,.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday afternoon in Washington DC, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, Ambassador Johnnie Carson, said while the Americans could not say what kind of cabinet or government.
President Jonathan would put in place in his new term in office, “I hope that he will act in both a responsible and inclusive manner in the selection of those individuals for his cabinet and that in doing so, he will be reaching out to heal the political divisions that were uncovered during the election process.”
Carson observed that already Vice President Namadi Sambo “is in fact, a former northern governor and that the Nigerian Constitution does call for the President of the country to select from individual states various cabinet members.”
We are the voice of the voiceless...
