Buhari demonstrated his hate for Igbos with latest appointments-Ohaneze Youth Council

The Ohaneze Youth Council, OYC, Friday, expressed shock and deep anger over President Muhammadu Buhari’s latest appointments.

In a statement  jointly signed by President of the of the OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and the group’s Public Relations Officer, Hon. Obinna Adibe, OYC said the appointments were totally unacceptable to Ndigbo and the nPresident had demonstrated his deep hatred for Ndigbo, even after he had said he belonged to nobody but belonged to everybody


The statement read:
 “We stand to condemn this glaring hatred for Ndigbo by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. We recall that apart from several other appointments, Buhari’s government has also appointed Service Chiefs and in a similar manner, he sidelined the South-East zone.
“As if that was not enough, the long-awaited position of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, has come at last and this government deemed nobody from the South-East qualified enough to occupy that position, which was earlier zoned to Ndigbo.“We are indeed shocked by this turn of events, which are totally at variance with Mr. President’s earlier stand that he was for nobody but that he was for everybody. We are at a loss where this statement fits in, considering all the actions he has taken so far, which are all against the interest of Ndigbo.
“Where is the justice; where is the equity; where is the one Nigeria? How long shall Ndigbo be pushed to the walls?

“The Ohaneze Youth Council is saying it loud and clear that these appointments are unacceptable to us and we urge Mr. President to reverse them, otherwise it would appear that there is a grand-design to annihilate the Igbos out of the political and economic system in this country.”
The statement further stated that it was also curious that the Buhari-led government had suspended work on the second Niger Bridge,
“The Second Niger Bridge is a project that touches on the economic life of the entire South-East and we find it curious that the Federal Government is not ready to attach any priority to it.
“We use this medium to urge Mr. President to right these wrongs and move the country forward as one. Tribalism has never paid Nigeria and this period will not make any difference”.
