Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central, says the Igbo have been systematically marginalised since the civil war.

Infoexpert24 reports that Sani made the submission in Kaduna at a meeting organised by the Association of Eze-Ndigbo in Diaspora on Saturday, He described the marginalisation as a “collective punishment”.

The civil war took place between 1967 and 1970.

The former senator said the injustice faced by the Igbo affects them in terms of how they are represented in politics.

He added that the marginalisation has affected the political fortunes of the region but the Igbos have proven to be dependable and patriotic.

He described the marginalisation as a “collective punishment” from Nigerians.

“There has been a systemic exclusion and marginalisation of your people, stemming from the historical Biafra war — this is a collective punishment,” he said.

Sani recalled that prior to the civil war, a Fulani man, Faruq Altine was elected a mayor in the south-east.

“That act alone (appointment of a Fulani man as mayor) sends a message to Nigeria that whatever happens subsequently is not the fault of Igbos,” he said.

“Today, Igbos are being seen as unNigerian, unpatriotic, forgetting the feat Altine achieved in the region.

“Most of those who want to divide this country aren’t picking their reasons from the sky. They are building their reasons on injustice and inequity meted to them. The only way to defeat a secessionist who doesn’t believe in one Nigeria is by giving justice to them.

Correction.
Fulanis Marginalized Igbos!

Still on still, the North remian the poverty headquarters of the world

I keep fall in love with Shehu sanni everyday because he always speak with wisdom not like those governors in southeast that will invite soldiers and other security agent to come and kill their own people because of 2023 ambition.

Let's be setting facts straight abeq.
The Mayor was only the head of his Hausa /fulani community, where they are high in numbers
Not in a place where majority of Igbos live in.

Sheu Sani should learn to separate facts from rumors.

"Collective punishment" from Hausa/Fulani people not Nigerians
