Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has been slammed by netizens for giving appointment to a Biafra apologist.

The appointee, Chinwe Obuaku, of Igbo ethnicity, serves as the Director-General and Special Envoy to the Governor on Climate Change and Renewable Energy.

Her appointment became known on social media after she made a post campaigning for Adeleke’s re-election as Governor of Osun State.

Reacting on X, one @cypha1011 wondered why “a non indigene who got appointed by the governor for whatever reason is talking to the indigenes about the choice of their next governor. This is also noted.”

Responding, Obuaku stated that it is “funny how some Nigerians want acceptance, opportunities, and protection abroad, yet become uncomfortable when an Igbo woman works in Osun or another Nigerian succeeds outside their ethnic region.”

Netizens then dug deep into her past posts on social media to reveal that she holds an ideology that caters to Biafra Republic, a defunct country that once seceded from Nigeria.

Her past post on Biafra read, “There is an ominous silence on #Biafra. The ‘divide and rule’ policy of the British marginalised most ethnic groups before the war and the Igbos were marginalised after the war! The loss of #Biafra deepens the loss of the #igbos. Until we address #Biafra the trauma lingers!”

Another read, “The loss of #Biafra is a trauma for all. Until issues of marginalisation and inclusion are addressed, #Biafra remains embedded in our Psyche!”

Lamenting, netizens wondered why the Adeleke administration handed appointment meant for Yoruba person to an Igbo woman who doesn’t even believe in Nigeria.

@Djorientation said, “@AAdeleke_01 Omo eskiss sir, una no dey do due diligence before una employ? Someone who doesn’t believe in Nigeria for that matter, una give appointment for a core Yoruba land like Osun. God!”

@pontrol_777 said, “SA to governor Adeleke of Osun State na Biafra agitator!! Adelekes have carried the entire Osun state and placed it into ibos hands! That’s was how he appointed Ibos to be in charge of Osun festival! I want that family out in power! They are selling Yorubas out!”

@0nrewaju said, “Yorubaland is totally f–k#d! Awolowo and Akintola will be rolling in their grave. How does this one go appointment in Osun state fgs?”

press9jatv:
Adeleke is very clueless here. So there's no Osun State indigene that can fit into that position. He's a goner .

clockwisereport:
You did not say this when Ladi Akeredolu-Ale was appointed MD of ESBS.

Abi no Enugu person was qualified for that position?

Putinofrussia:
Some people are just too parochial.
Just because of the employment of Igbo woman as adviser?
Please,free the woman jor.

Ofunaofu:
Maybe I should ask ChatGPT why your reasoning is this shallow because I didn’t know it had become a crime to comment on Osun State issues if one isn’t from there.
