Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo has said that there is nothing wrong for calling the attention of President Muhamamdu Buhari to issues especially with the inclusion of his wife, Aisha.
Okorocha made his opinion known in Abuja on Sunday while addressing State House correspondents on the outcome of the three-day official visit.
The governor, who was part of the president’s entourage, noted that President Buhari discussed issues of common interest with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
On Aisha Buhari and those calling on President Buhari to take a second look on his cabinet with a view to effecting changes where necessary, the governor stated that there was nothing wrong for the president to listen to such calls.
According to him, as a governor he knows where the shoe pinches more.
“It is natural that people who are in the game and those who outside tend to see more, if there is a clarion call for Mr President to take a look at his cabinet and bring in more people.
“There is nothing wrong for Mr President to take note of comments by people because if everyone keeps saying the same thing, there may be sense in what they are saying but that is not really the situation that should create a big hullabaloo.
“Most members of the party felt that they have not been carried along, I know that many of them complain every day, they want board appointments released so that there will be calm.
“The people from the South East said they have not been appointed; the people from the North East and even from the North West where Mr. President comes from said that they have not been appointed.
“Some local governments and villages are saying they have not been remembered, so at what point do we draw this line but there is always room for amendment because there is no perfection”, he said.
