Ohaneze Ndigbo: Buhari Must Give Igbos Appointments

Posted by Nicholas on Thu 07th May, 2015 - tori.ng

It's quite obvious now that the Ohaneze Ndigbo people are not going to back down that easily. The President Dr. Chris Eluomunoh has stated that the Igbos will not beg the President-elect for political appointments, but expect to be included.

Pan-cultural Igbo organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo said Igbos will not beg Muhammadu Buhari for political appointments but they must be included in the next government.

PUNCH reports that President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Anambra State, Dr. Chris Eluomunoh, who spoke as the chairman of state presidents’ forum of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, comprising seven Igbo speaking states, stated this at a press conference in Awka, Anambra State.

He said, ''We didn’t vote for Jonathan because we didn’t like Buhari. The circumstance of the moment made our voting proper, and we don’t regret it. Nobody can intimidate the Igbo because of the way we voted in that election; neither shall we beg anybody for appointments because we didn’t vote for him.

''Every zoning arrangement for appointments in this country must include the Igbo. So those who called themselves Ohanaeze elders, who went to beg for appointments for Ndigbo, were on their own. They are not speaking for us. Ohanaeze is not partisan. At the appropriate time, we shall meet with the President-elect to chart a course for the country.”
