A House of Representatives member for
Orumba North-South in Anambra State,
Mr. Sopuluchukwu Ezeonwuka, has urged
President Muhammadu Buhari to come to
terms with his position as the President
of Nigeria.
Ezeonwuka spoke at Oko, Orumba North
Local Government Area of Anambra State
on Saturday during his reception by the
Okeani General Assembly.
He accused the Buhari administration of
bigotry and lopsidedness in actions.
He said, “The moment you contested an
election and won, you become the President
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not
the President of the North or South.
“Check out the appointments made by
President Muhammadu Buhari, south
easterners were nowhere. In appointments
of 24 persons, you have 21 from the North,
one or two in the South-West, one in the
South-South, and none in the South-East.
“It’s quite unfortunate that Buhari has not
yet assumed the position of the President of
Nigeria. He is like somebody on a specific
mission.”
The lawmaker, who is a member of the
House Committee on Customs, pointed out
that no person of Igbo origin was
represented in the Customs management.
“The APC government should know that we
are an integral part of this country called
Nigeria. One thing is clear, the
marginalisation of the Igbo will not last
long. If you keep telling some people that
you don’t want them, they can take a
decision,” he said.
