President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said
allegations of under-representation of Igbos in his
government were unfounded.
He said while he gave the South-East zone four
substantive ministers, he could not take any
decision on foreign policy and investments without
the input of two of them.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the
President spoke while receiving leaders from the
region led by the Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said Buhari told his guests that while seven
states in the North got Ministers of State in his
administration, the South East got four substantive
ministers.

“I gave South-East four substantive ministers in the
Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Investment,
Science and Technology and Labour.
“Seven states in the North got ministers of state;
and of the two ministries headed by your sons, I
cannot take any decision on foreign policy and
investments without their input,’’ the President said.
The President also promised the leaders,
comprising governors and ministers from the
region, the President of Ohanaeze, Chief Nnia
Nwodo, and representatives from the National
Assembly, that he will visit states in the zone soon.
“I want to assure you that I came into government
with a clear conscience and I will also leave with a
clear conscience,’’ he said.
The President assured them that the region will
benefit more from roads and coastal rail projects,
which are of critical importance to the economy.
He said the Second Niger Bridge, the East-West
Road and the Coastal rail project, are receiving
utmost attention from his administration.
The President said counterpart funding from the
Chinese government would substantially fund these
projects, which when completed will improve the
welfare, well-being and economy of the people in
the region.
“I know the Chinese are very competent in handling
such projects and we will ensure that we get the
money for the projects to take off.”

I never see this kind thing b4.

Northenocrazy-system of government where a particular group of people located in the "North" are given all the appointments they aren't qualified for but are only qualified as a result of quota system

What else do one expect from a Government based on 97% and 5%.

Nonsense they are not good for administrative, even when good luck Jonathan allocated juice minister appointment to the region ,they contributed nothing.they always crying for marginalize I wonder why one of their son or daughter couldn't contest for president.

So it's not marginalization,so what is called?

Election is coming.

Seeing how the army is now loathed by the people across the SE, Edo, and Bayelsa shows that he has been rejected by them like they rejected the military's nameless vaccines.


Time to embark on 'projects' that will never be completed, just like the second niger bridge that he campaigned with but discarded immediately he won the elections.


Having endured almost 3yrs of being sidelined, the SE are ready to endure the remaining 1.5yrs left of your administration. You can use those 'projects' up north where the 97% reside.
