Buhari Doesn't Like The Igbos - Ohaneze Laments

Dr. Chris Eluemuno

 

A representative of the pan Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo, in the person of the Anambra state president, Dr Chris Eluemuno has criticized the recent appointments of President Muhammadu Buhari which he attributes to the president's hatred for the Igbo nation.

 

Dr. Chris Eluemuno, revealed this during an interview at the state –owned Anambra Broadcasting Service Television in Awka,on Wednesday, 29th of July. The state president of the group played down his surprise over the recent presidential appointments which has excluded the Igbos. He claimed Buhari would have still done the same if the Igbos had given him all their votes.

 

In his words:

    “I said it during the campaigns that General Buhari does not like Igbo people and it is happening now with all the appointments he has so far made since he came into office on May 29, 2015.

    He appointed five service chiefs and there is no Igbo man, even though Igbo have qualified people to occupy the positions. His party has completed the selection of principal officers in the national assembly and despite the fact that the speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara made case to apply the federal character in allocating the offices, the president jettisoned it through his intervention and left Igbo APC lawmakers out.

    He also exhibited his vindictiveness during his recent visit to the United States of America, USA, when he travelled with only governors from his party, leaving out governors from the opposition parties.

    He was also quoted as saying that he would favour those who voted for him and our position is that there is no way the president should expect all Nigerians to vote for him in the last presidential election.That statement contradicted Buhari’s earlier stand that he belonged to everybody and belonged to nobody.”

 

Dr. Chris Eluemuno insists the appointments must touch all the 36 states as stipulated in the constitution of Nigeria which the president must abide with.
