The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has accused President Muhammadu Buahri and his party, the All Progressives Congress, of deceiving Nigerians with phony promises they do not intend to fulfil.

The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Uche Achi-Okpaga, said this on Friday in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH.


The Ohanaeze’s spokesperson therefore predicted electoral defeat for Buhari in the February 16 presidential poll, saying Nigerians, especially the Igbo, had seen the deception of the ruling party.

He accused the Buhari-led administration of making attempts to decimate Igbo people in the military, saying indigenes of the South-East in the military had suffered the heaviest casualties in the war against the Boko Haram in the North-East.


He said, “The present administration has not done well for the Igbo people. There is calamitous violence in the North and Nigerians soldiers are being killed in hundreds. We found out that south easterners in the military had continued to be killed in a large number and they are followed by those from the Middle Belt. This is a deliberate effort to decimate the number of Igbo people in the Nigerian Army.”


Achi-Okpaga accused the government of neglecting the South-East in terms of developmental projects while staging a series of military operations there despite that the region was peaceful.

The Ohanaeze spokesman added, “In the South-East, the government has brought Operation Python Dance; this is the third one. Presently in Nigeria, the South-East is the most peaceful region. Armed robbery, kidnapping have been reduced to the barest minimum. There is no violence anywhere in the South-East; still, they are sending soldiers to attack the whole place. But where there is violence in the North-East, they have no solution.”


Achi-Okpaga also criticised the President for reportedly sidelining the Igbo people from what he called juicy appointments.

He stressed that the exclusion of the people of the South-East from the Board of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission showed Buhari’s alleged disdain for those from the region.

The publicity secretary stated, “In what way has he been fair to the South-East? Is it in the building of roads or what? Does it mean fairness has different meanings in the dictionary of the President? He has not done well and you can see how they are trying to deceive Nigerians.

“They promised the South-East the presidency in 2023; they also promised the South-West presidency in 2023. How can you be speaking from both sides of your mouth at this time? This government has come to be known for deception.

“Last year, Chris Ngige said by October 2018, civil servants would be enjoying a new minimum wage. Now, they are setting up a committee. What is the need? Pass it to the National Assembly. Setting up of a committee is a deceptive means to buy time.”

I hate to say this but IPOB is a true reflection of the thought process that makes up the Ohaneze. The difference between them is just the aggression the former embraces.

The victim mentality, self entitlements and incessant wailings would almost make it seem that other ethnic groups are being given Nescafe Gold every morning and some special rights at night.

Soldiers are being killed due to poor logistics but it must be about the Igbos. The other day, the hunchman made a special shout out to his Ekuke dog, Jack instead of the unfortunate souls lost in his father's compound. If this isn't insensitive I wonder what is.

They didn't just say those things without any investigation. They must have ask question bf those words. Here in south east, Armies dat filled this place are mostly Hausa's and few Yoruba's and I that is so there at ur side(west). So my question is, where are Igbos soldiers if not in North fighting insurgency. All my friends that entered army, told me that are all in Borno state. Out 10 of my friends, only one escaped Borno and dat is becos, he got connection and they put him for sch to study butbbf dat study, he had already worked at Borno as amour distributor.
So what Ohanaeze spoke wére a real fact.

Stop politicizing and tribalizing the military. These Ohaneze or whatever the eff they call themselves are as useless as used toilet paper.

Am I surprised at this? Hell no! So you expected Igbo soldiers to remain in the East? For the records, I know a handful of Urhobo soldiers at the 82 Division in Enugu, just as a Yoruba Colonel. A popular Hausa soldier in Gariki who directs traffic was moved to the North East alongside some other Hausa soldiers and this was shortly after the Colonel left for the North East. Almost all have been moved to the North East now so I don't know where your investigation claim is coming from.

The victim mentality isn't new to those who are abreast with Nigerian politics. Ohaneze can politicize and tribalize the military for all eternity, it doesn't change the fact that the group is a gathering of rabble rousers who want to eat their cakes and have it. Where were they prior 2015 and during Jonathan's era?

This is absolute rubbish talk.
