Buhari Hates The Igbo Nation by TK16(m): 2:04am On Jul 30, 2015
THE pan Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo, said yesterday that it was not surprised at the way the appointments of President Muhammadu Buhari were going, insisting that it had shown the president’s deep rooted hatred for the Igbo nation.
Anambra State president of Ohaneze, Dr. Chris Eluemuno, in an interview at the state –owned Anambra Broadcasting Service Television in Awka, said the situation would still have been the same even if the entire Igbo voted for him.

He said: “I said it during the campaigns that General Buhari does not like Igbo people and it is happening now with all the appointments he has so far made since he came into office on May 29, 2015
“He appointed five service chiefs and there is no Igbo man, even though Igbo have qualified people to occupy the positions.

“His party has completed the selection of principal officers in the national assembly and despite the fact that the speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara made case to apply the federal character in allocating the offices, the president jettisoned it through his intervention and left Igbo APC lawmakers out.



“He also exhibited his vindictiveness during his recent visit to the United States of America, USA, when he travelled with only governors from his party, leaving out governors from the opposition parties.

Buhari Hates The Igbo Nation Claims Ohaneze

“He was also quoted as saying that he would favour those who voted for him and our position is that there is no way the president should expect all Nigerians to vote for him in the last presidential election.That statement contradicted Buhari’s earlier stand that he belonged to everybody and belonged to nobody.”

Eluemuno, who is also the chairman of chairmen of Ohaneze in the seven Igbo speaking states, argued that Buhari had no reason to discriminate against the Igbo because Igbonation played prominent roles in the development of Nigeria and should therefore not be discriminated against in the scheme of things.

According to him, apart from the Secretary to the Government of Federation, SGF, the remaining appointments are ministers and board members, which constitutionally must go to all the 36 states of the federation, adding that appointing an Igbo minister would not therefore be a favour to them.

On the president’s threat to probe only the Jonathan administration, Eluemuno said it would amount to witch hunt if he limited it to the immediate past administration, advising that the probe should start from the PDP civilian administration that began 16 years ago with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who governed for eight years.

He also advised the President not to jettison the report of the Constitutional Conference convoked by former President Goodluck Jonathan, arguing that the Constitutional Conference report was key to fighting corruption in Nigeria as it contained recommendations that could help him succeed in his fight against corruption in the country.
Eluemunor said the president might also be expecting too much if he thought that he would find angels to make ministers, stressing that as long as those he described as the corrupt civil servants were there, the ministers, no matter their background and integrity would still be corrupt.

“He should know that those who corrupt the ministers are the top civil servants. They are the ones that show the ministers the way once they are sworn in. If he wants to fight corruption in the service, he should start by cleaning up the civil service,” he added.
He called on the Igbos to brace up to the challenge posed to them by the APC- led federal government.

What are you guys talking about here? I think people are fools to have brought back a man that did nothing but engage in coups in his youth, and instead of staying in his old age as retired, has been appointed as HOS again in 2015 and beyond. That of course is shameful and shows how local Africans in this part of the world are, take it or leave it.

However,

Ohaneze is a greater shame. Since 1999 they have been nothing but a bunch of disenfranchised wannabe contractors to any government in power and are in fact toothless. Those of the East, particularly the Igbo speaking areas have had 16 years to put their house in order, but instead of strengthening themselves possibly through APGA or PPA or what have you, they decided to stand with weak thugs like Theo Orji and Elechi and Ohakim, men who can't muster any national relevance. For 16 years they could not even get their international airport completed or engage in any major remodeling of 1 city into world class economic levels. Its only how to go to Abuja or Lagos and make money, run to US to give birth, or fight among yourself, even when you have opportunity to gain an extra state, you bring 80 proposals like primary school children.

How do you expect the old general to even trust putting you in any relevant position when it's clear that you can't even show strong leaders like Okpara, Ojukwu, Ibiam, Mbakwe, etc.

The igbos are known to create an ideology and direction for themselves, this is what made ZIK, the pride of Africa, Ojukwu before and after the war had same but unfortunately the present day generation of Igbo refused to identify with him. I can unequivocally say the igbos feel they are fighting a liberation cause at the moment in in Nigeria, but they do not have a leader to lead them... U need a leader with one voice only then will you be taking serious

If I were PMB, I will ensure I compensate the SS region of Edo, Rivers and possibly Bayelsa far more above any states in the East just to ensure you stop tagging your useless agitation as that of SE/SS. Learn to stand alone and accept consequences of your own decision.

Please tell the pretentious cretin grin

They never gave him their mandate

They said he was an old illiterate incapable of governance, and they voted in bloc against him.

Even now, they pray for his government's failure, yet in their blind hypocrisy they dare call him vindictive and hateful.

Nigeria is not a zoo. Igboland is a zoo. Nigerians are not animals. Igbos are animals

The first shot wasnt fired by the federals. The first shot was fired as far back as that cold Jan '66 night when your bloodsucking, greed-driven ibo uncles killed other regional leaders whilst sparing theirs. - that was the catalyst to the whole conflict

I know why you are bitter against the Yoruba; their Generals sent your loudmouthed warlord fleeing to Abidjan after wasting the life of worthless ibo souls

I also know the reason for your anger against Gowon, a man from a Northern minority tribe, Angas, a tribe less than 1million, was the Nigerian Head of state that humilated the entire ibo race.

Nyamiri, igbos fought a needless and senseless war and they lost the war woefully and deservedly. QED

What sort of rubbish blab is this?... Saying that PMB didn't travel to the US with PDP governors, did GEJ ever go anywhere with ACN or CPC governors?...

Buhari should never waste his time trying to appease the Igbos. Just the same way the north could never be appeased by Jonathan even with all he did, the Igbos would always hate Buhari no matter what he does because they just love to hate.

Ohaneze for all I care can continue to run their mouths, but Buhari should just focus on delivering his campaign promises as much as possible; his works would speak for him and the reasonable igbos would come around with time. If Buhari is able to appease all other sections of the country including the south-south, that would mean over 80% approval ratings and even a large chunk of the Igbos throwing senseless vituperations around would come to their senses.
