A Yoruba man in Anambra was made perm. Sec. That is what handshake across the Niger means – Pete Edochie

A Yoruba guy was promoted to the position of permanent secretary in Anambra State and another Yoruba man was hired to operate a broadcasting firm in Enugu. This, according to veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie, is what a “handshake across the Niger” implies. That, according to Edochie, is how a nation develops, in an interview with Signature TV’s Obiora Ilo. He advocated for more widespread use of such gestures until they are the standard.

We are discussing a handshake over the Niger River, he said. I believe a Yoruba man was appointed head of the broadcasting house by the governor of Enugu State. A Yoruba man from Anambra was appointed permanent secretary not long ago. Across the Niger, that is the precise meaning of a handshake. Everyone is talking about restructuring, but no one ever stops to explain what it is. It never leaves their thoughts. They merely repeat what others have said.

Regardless of their religious beliefs, a person’s place of birth determines whether they are eligible to run for any office in the North. That is the way a nation develops.

Tinubu ought to be aware that the Enugu broadcasting house is being handled by a Yoruba man. The appointment of a Yoruba guy to the position of permanent secretary in Anambra State must have reached Tinubu’s ears.

Upon learning that Tinubu had also installed an Igbo man as an economic advisor in Lagos?

He remarked, “How lovely. It would be great if we could make this gesture more commonplace. Hopefully, this will serve as an example for the rest of the nation to follow.
