Prominent businessman and politician, Alh. Bashir Tofa says he doesn’t believe that the South-East region is marginalized by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Tofa insists that, it is only irresponsible fanatics that will be making such claims, and agitating for secession.

In an interview with Vanguard, Tofa said it’s a shame that after all these years, there’s still tribal discord in Nigeria.

He said: “I have not heard any sensible and responsible Igbo man making such accusations. It was just the ranting of some fanatics, who always want us to see ourselves in tribal and religious garbs.
