₦airaland Forum

ONITSHA — Ndigbo Unity Forum, NUF, an Igbo social-political organisation, has set a five-point agenda for the Preisdent-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), as a means of pacifying Ndigbo in all its ramifications.

Top on the agenda is ensuring the execution of the
second Niger Bridge project, as scheduled; use of
reputable persons from the Eastern region in his
government, as well as giving the region an
additional state.

In a press statement issued, yesterday, in Onitsha,
Anambra State, shortly after its quarterly meeting,
NUF also asked the President-elect to reduce
accidents on federal roads by constructing a dual
carriage way since most of the roads were currently
single lane and in a state of disrepair.

According to the group, the President-elect should
also implement the national confab report as this will help fortify national unity.
NUF said after examining the outcome and
transparency of the just concluded 2015 presidential election, it had no other option than to congratulate the President-elect.
“NUF is confident that the President-elect will give
Nigerians the desired change that will steer the
economic and security situation towards the right
direction.”

we want d best

No it isn't. If Buhari and APC are wise politicians, they should strive to win the love of the SE region. This way APC will have a national appeal and not an ethnic party (yoruba+hausa party) appeal that it is at the moment..

Last week, you wanted Biafra. This week, you are making demands from the president elect of Nigeria!!!
What exactly do you want?

whitecat1:
That's it? What about buhari stepping aside for ibo president to rule for the first 2 years so you can take it all, with 4 Niger bridges, one on every stream instead of begging for just one?
I don't know what you would be asking for if you had voted him.

APC never sidelined the SE, it's the igbos that have shown unwarranted hate towards the party. When APC was being formed, APGA was invited but they pulled out at the last minute, everything was done during the campaign to appease the igbos but they wouldn't have it. They even voted massively out of hate against Ngige despite the promise of the senate presidency. What more could have been done?

Igbos have an history of being unreasonably hateful and ungrateful, I don't see the hatred going away even if buhari transforms the SE into a paradise. IMHO, buhari and the APC do not need to appeal to the igbos in anyway, they should be the least prioritised if there's anything!

The one group that needs that appeasal is the south south. This is because they contribute immensely to the economy and do not practice the politics of bitterness like the igbos. It was understandable that they voted for their son in the just concluded election and even at that, they gave GMB more votes than the SE. Talk about crying more than the bereaved.

With the nigerdelta votes in the bag, the igbo votes becomes completely irrelevant as the worst that can happen is what we witnessed during the election.

Like every other region in nigeria, the SE will feel the wind of change but they should forget any special treatment or prioritised developmental projects. "Every region will be positively affected" that's the best you can get.
