President Muhammadu Buhari has taken a swipe at those criticising him for alleged marginalisation of the Igbo.

Buhari said despite getting low votes from people in the region during the 2015 elections, he had been impartial in his appointments.

He spoke during an interview aired on Arise TV on Monday which was monitored by our correspondent.


The President had during the interview said if re-elected, it would not take a long time before he chose members of his cabinet.

“Somebody made an observation that I was not patronising the Igbo from the South East. I told him that when I won the election, I studied the amount of votes I got from all the geopolitical zones.


“I said I got 198,000 from the whole of the South East, which virtually any local government can give me. But I appointed ministers of foreign affairs, labour, industries, and investment, mines and tech; these four; I never knew them from Adam. Ministers of States from seven states of the north are under these ministers. How fair do you want me to be?” he added.

Worthless miscreants

ogaontop:
Please let them go!!

Since they are miscreants, why stopping Biafra

ogaontop:
I don't really know Why Buhari is unnecessarily nepotic?

Please Can someone explain democracy in relation to the constitution of the FRN?

Osagyefo98:
I now hold the view and strongly agree that buhari is a terrorist, an arch-genocidist.

No be lie were Amaechi talk say, this man no dey read, and him no sabi book.
appointing ministers from every state is not a favour but a right, according to our Federal Character law.
And being the President of a country means, treating every region fairly, not minding who gave you more or less votes.

Stalwert:
and this one is supposedly receiving education, what a sad proof of the poor state of our education.

Terrorist cow

Balyz:
In essence Buhari is telling you he has given you more than your due and so you should be grateful to him. Do you remember the Nnamdi kanu saga when you all supported that charlatan to destabilise Buhari's government? If I were Buhari I will treat you less charitably

SalamRushdie:
A whole president saying he is vindictive against a particular tribe because they didn't vote for him ..this is very unpresidential in a secular country

What is nepotism about him ?

He reconstructed most of the roads in the southeast abandoned by past administration

He paid the Biafrans veterans

Chose Igbo as one of his Vice President during Anpp

So please redifine your question
