₦airaland Forum

The highest socio-cultural organization in Igbo land, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has said Igbos will not beg the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari for political appointments, describing the decision of some Igbo people to do so as a disgrace to the Igbo nation. Chairman of the Ohaneze State Presidents’ Forum for the seven Igbo-speaking states, Eluomunoh, said this at a news conference in Awka.

Eluomunoh said, irrespective of the voting pattern of the people in the last election, General Buhari and the incoming APC government must involve the South East in the zonal arrangement. Eluomunoh further said, with Buhari as the president and the South West as the vice president, the next most important appointment, which is the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, must come from the South East. The Chairman also stated appointing Igbos into political offices should not be regarded as doing them any favour.

"There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behaviour that can offend; by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness"
.............Chinua Achebe.

Seriously, Igbo need to look inward and make conscious effort to correct the generally negative impression others in Nigeria have about them due directly or indirectly to the above observation by no less an Igboman than Prof. Chinua Achebe!

A situation where Igbo Elders (or any tribal leadership for that matter) called out the Igbo or its tribal membership to vote for a particular candidate is to be deprecated. Truth is, it is wrong and puts the tribe in question in a disadvantaged position (but for the magnanimity of the winner they derided) where they turn out to be backing the wrong horse! Folks should vote guided by their conscience and issues of good governance.
