Awka – THE pan Igbo socio-cultural organization,
Ohaneze Ndigbo, said yesterday that it was not
surprised at the way the appointments of President
Muhammadu Buhari were going, insisting that it had shown the president’s deep rooted hatred for
the Igbo nation.

Anambra State president of Ohaneze, Dr. Chris
Eluemuno, in an interview at the state –owned
Anambra Broadcasting Service Television in Awka,
said the situation would still have been the same
even if the entire Igbo voted for him.

He said: “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.”

Eluemuno, who is also the chairman of chairmen of
Ohaneze in the seven Igbo speaking states, argued
that Buhari had no reason to discriminate against
the Igbo because Igbonation played prominent roles in the development of Nigeria and should therefore not be discriminated against in the scheme of things.

According to him, apart from the Secretary to the
Government of Federation, SGF, the remaining
appointments are ministers and board members,
which constitutionally must go to all the 36 states of
the federation, adding that appointing an Igbo minister would not therefore be a favour to
them.

On the president’s threat to probe only the Jonathan
administration, Eluemuno said it would amount to
witch hunt if he limited it to the immediate past
administration, advising that the probe should start
from the PDP civilian administration that began 16
years ago with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who
governed for eight years.

He also advised the President not to jettison the
report of the Constitutional Conference convoked by
former President Goodluck Jonathan, arguing that
the Constitutional Conference report was key to
fighting corruption in Nigeria as it contained
recommendations that could help him succeed in his fight against corruption in the country.

Eluemunor said the president might also be
expecting too much if he thought that he would find
angels to make ministers, stressing that as long as
those he described as the corrupt civil servants were there, the ministers, no matter their background and integrity would still be corrupt.

“He should know that those who corrupt the
ministers are the top civil servants. They are the ones that show the ministers the way once they are sworn in. If he wants to fight corruption in the service, he should start by cleaning up the civil service,” he added.

He called on the Igbos to brace up to the challenge
posed to them by the APC- led federal government.
