Igbo People Only Care For Political Appointments, Not Development – Ngige by Azeemokoya(op): 9:46am On Dec 09, 2021
Dr. Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour, has accused his Igbo people of only being interested in political appointments and not the development of their region.

Ngige who made the allegations during an interview with Chaninels Television, said the people of the South-East have not appreciated the infrastructural development of the region being put together by President Muhammadu Buhari as what they prefer is getting political appointments from the federal government.

Ngige added that President Buhari does not understand the mentality of the Igbos and what they want, which is why the people do not appreciate the developmental strides of the president in the South-East.

“President Muhammadu Buhari does not understand the people of the South-East. My people love appointments. They don’t care about development and that is where Mr. President didn’t get them well.

“Mr. President felt that by giving them infrastructure, they will be happy. In the mind of the President, he is saying ‘if I empower you through your fertilizer plant in Ebonyi state, give loans, credits and grants to farmers in Abakaliki, Ebonyi, Imo, that our people will be happy.’ But these people just love appointments.

“They don’t want such projects coming into the region.”

He added that though former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan gave more Igbos political appointments during their tenures, the South-East has remained underdeveloped.

“We had plenty of appointments during Obasanjo and Jonathan. For example, the Enugu airport has been dilapidated over the years.

“We have had four aviation ministers: Kema Chikwe, Fidelia Nnjeze, Osita Chidoka, and Stella Oduah. How come your airport is dilapidated?

Is that why we're saying we don't want the fraudulent president position of that shithole?

For people who care about appointment over development according to you, we must have abandoned Biafra (a gateway for Igbo prosperity) for dumb positions like presidency of Fraudgeria or vice.

Anyway, thank God for Katsina and Ogun (two states who have chosen good governance and produced 3 presidents and 2 presidents/vice respectively). But if Ogun and Katsina "good governance" is what you want to give Igbos then God punish you.

It’s wrong to talk about your people like this Ngige.
You are going to give us troll a good morning.
But I won’t be tempted to insult the great Igbo people.
I hereby declare Ngige a saboteur.

Mr Ngige. Now you confirm U were made a minister no because you want development in your region but political self angradisement.

It's people like you that don't want development in the south east.Now it's confirmed your motive for the south east no wonder the Buhari has refused to complete Enugu Onitsha express road and Portharcourt -Aba express road instead chose to make APC efulefus minister including the supreme Court gorvernor of imo state.

Is that why Igbos rejected Nigeria and its fake appointment and embraced Biafra while your Ibadam people are begging us for yoonity? cheesy

I have been a asking this question for years, Igbo should point to one big developmental project executed by PDP in the South East for sixteen years, just one.

Another idiot from the south east. Abuja runway took 6 months to complete. Kaduna airport used as alternative took 5 months to refurbish. Refurbishment of enugu runway is in its third year. Whereas obiano has completed the building of an airport in one year.

This is just d reality of the whole thing,they are pretending they love Nigeria by shouting everything is going down not cos they love Nigeria but because they ain't part of the looting process.

The same people that defended Jonathan when he said stealing isn't corruption are d same persons crying to high heavens now

Ask them what has changed,Jonathan stole,buhari is stealing

They were silent when Jonathan was stealing cos they were part of it but now that they ain't part of it they are crying

When igbos in APC talk I just laugh really

How has APC treated the igbos in APC that would warrant more igbos to join

Joe igbokwe after all the mouth how far ?
Onu how far after 18 years beside buhari
Should I say nwajuba ? Abi kanu ? Abi ararume Abe uche nwosu ? ...how was APC treated the igbos with them that would make igbos love the party ?

This is exactly the problem with the average Igbo person. They prefer the more you look, the less you see. They prefer having their people in visible positions so they can brag about those positions and have no infrastructural development.
Obj and Jonathan understood the Igbo psyche well, hence appointed them here and there, with nothing to show for it.

President Buhari is building infrastructure like 2nd Niger bridge, but the damage done by namadi cownu and his brainless Ipob terrorists have beclouded most Igbo that they can’t think again.

God bless president Buhari for speaking to Ipob terrorists bingos in the language they understand.

Ngige spoke the truth. Igbos dominated GEJ administration yet those political appointments never translated into development in their region. If only Buhari could have followed the GEJ template, maybe igbos wouldn't hate him so much.
