Igbos Are The Most Marginalised In Nigeria - Fayose by nairavsdollars(f): 8:51am On Nov 02, 2017
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State was in Lagos recently Lagos where he spoke with journalists on his presidential ambition, restructuring and other issues. TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI brings the excerpts:

Some members of your party the PDP seem not to be favourably disposed to your quest to jettison the party’s agreement that the presidency should go to the North in 2019. What’s your take on this?

Issues and event will consume them; I mean those you are referring to as not favourably disposed to my ambition. I have gone through a lot in this country. I have been well groomed, I am matured and firebrand enough to face challenges of tomorrow. Things don’t happen by accident. At a time the party (PDP) almost fell apart. How many of them did we see at the time? How many of them spoke at the time?. If they zone it to the North, so because I am not a northerner, then I don’t have a constitutional right for me to contest. Forget that.

Now that they are planning to zone the chairmanship of the party to the south west. Would that not jeopardise your chances?

What are you saying? Have you not seen n this country where a zone has two key offices. We know where the Speaker is from. There was something before then even. During Tambuwal speakership, the post was zoned to the south west but because we lost it, a zone got the two top appointments in the land. Forget about that (zoning arrangement). It is the Presidency that orders things. When I become President in 2019, I will reorder those things. Nothing can stop me from contesting. Even if they pick the party’s chairman from my family; even if they pick my son as party chairman, I will contest.

What is your view on restructuring?

Yes those agitations for restructuring are good for the system. We are in a marriage and the marriage is having issues. We still have to sit down to talk about that marriage going forward. The Igbo are the most marginalised region in the country and they are saying re-order things but people are playing politics with the issue. If anybody say I am wrong about the treatment being meted out to the Igbo, let him come out and challenge me.

Things are not moving well in this country. There is too much ethnicity and nepotism. Look at a situation where a junior minister comes from one part of the country and a senior minister comes from another part and the junior minister said he could not take instructions from the senior minister. What kind of country are we running? So, events have transformed so many things. See the way I have transformed education. A man that is not a professor, who is not a medical doctor, but has been able to transform education. I met education at number 34, but today Ekiti is number one. This year again we sustained it which shows we are doing something differently and rightly. People are not interested in your certificate, but your experience.

You want to get a job abroad they will not ask for your certificate. They will ask for the experience you have. So, it is not the noise, it is who you are. Some will say Fayose in talking because of his immunity but I ask ‘do the others not have immunity’? The issue is that when you want to deal with issues in this country you deal with them in objectivity as a leader. When a leader is not doing the right thing you must be courageous enough to tell him. Of the 36 governors in this country, only one governor is talking. Part of governance and part of readership is to keep the people in power on their toes. Why must be people be afraid to tell you if you are not doing the right thing. Once I cannot talk again, then I rather leave politics and go back home to meet my family. Why should I be afraid to tell the truth? You say I am leader, so why should you talk badly at me. If you talk badly about me, I will give it back to you straight off. I am not a pretender of any sort and I am not going to come and beg for a favour that I don’t need. I am closer to 60 now, so what do I want? But for those of them that are clinging, goodluck to them.

Are Ijaw people not even more marginalised?

So Efik and Ibibio are not marginalised?

Tiv people are not marginalised?

He's talking complete tosh.

Igbos have held all political positions in this country.

They are spread across the length and breadth of the country without restraint.

Fayose is simply grandstanding and appealing to sympathy

Yes Ijaws are marginalized because the oil company headquarters that should be in their land are trapped in Lagos.
Yes Ijaws are marginalized because their oil blocs are controlled by noth.
Fayose hit the truth and should be praised,yes some Igbos can vote for him, we are not clannish and ethnically jingolistic in our political orientation.

Igbos say they are marginalized just 3 years ago, Igbos were controlling the govt and we never heard anything about marginalization or Biafra so it is now that their candidate lost they are now marginalized. Why did they not address the marginalization when they were in top positions of govt?

For speaking the truth?

Igbos are not more marginalised than any group in Nigeria.

They should also not think themselves more special.

Every group has its own story to tell.

the igbos have always been treated as second class citizens since the war ended, they have persistently been punished for the first military coup in which other tribes partook.
There is an unarguable lack of federal presence in the southeast which no animal can deny.
Cities like aba,onitsha and nnewi are home to the largest hand made products in sub-Saharan Africa that can provide million of jobs are intentionally made to lie fallow. There are no seaports nor airports that can help open the east to the world,the federal controlled northern governments of the past have only been interested with milking the oil down south without caring about host communities.
I don't want to believe that you do not know what is happening in the east except for the wickedness in your heart.

Stop trying to join the Oil producing regions in your lamentation.

The east is the least prolific when it comes to oil production.

You've had Enwerem, Okadigbo, Wabara, Ayim, now Ekweremadu as Senate president or vice from 10 of the last 18 years of our recent democracy.

Please tell me how many motions or bills they've pushed for in the interest of the East.

What federal presence does Nigeria have in Kwara, Benue, Niger, Nasarawa or even Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara etc?

the bills cannot go through because the northerners who outnumber them in the house will not vote for the bills to be passed, I do not need to lecture you on how bills are passed and the politics played.
Abia, Imo and anambra are oil producing states, they have contributed largely to Nigerias income generations.

Please state the bills and stop hypothesising

The same house chooses its leaders so how is it possible they cannot reach agreement on development?

I insist you lot are not special.

You have had your fair share of governmental positions without your kith and kin pushing to transform your region.

You have not been treated any more different than a Hausa, Tiv, Yoruba or Ijaw person.

The 97 to 5% statement covers a whole swathe of areas but you guys have embraced it as your personal leash while others have moved on.

I insist there has been no marginalisation.

It is all in your head.

point of correction I am from kogi and not Igbo,you have proven over and as being unfit for national discuss,you lack the mental reasoning and advance intelligence of making superior arguments and this will be my last response to you.
the 5% people the dullard was referring to are the igbos,if you take a careful look at the 2015 election voting pattern you will realize that they gave the dullard lesser votes for obvious reasons.
you can continue insisting but that's your personal opinion,the facts are There as stated by the South south and southeast governors forum whose reports was made known to the clueless one and he hasn't refuted the claims which means they are very correct.
