A chieftain of the Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Ozo Anaekwe, has attributed the ongoing call for the realization of Republic of Biafra to President Muhammadu Buhari’s marginalization of Ndigbo.
Anaekwe said Buhari in his few months in office had ourightly expunged Igbos from the scheme of things in the country.
Speaking with newsmen, the elder statesman said that Buhari’s utterances, policies and actions spurred the agitation by the members of IPOB and MASSOB
“How can you appoint people to govern Nigeria and you ignored Ndigbo with their mammoth population and contribution to the development of this country?
“And since Buhari became President, he had never uttered a word or taken action that would bring peace to this country. He has not acted like a statesman. He is on a revenge mission. He talks as if he is on a war front,” said Anaekwe.
He said that the protest by the members of IPOB was as a result of the continuous marginalization, intimidation and injustice meted out to their people.
