Ohanaeze Ndigbo Accuses Buhari of Marginalization, Threatens to Sue Over Appointments
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of marginalizing the Igbo people in his appointments and governance.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the organization's President-General, Nnia Nwodo, said that the Igbo people have been consistently excluded from key appointments in the federal government, despite their significant contributions to the country's development.
Nwodo threatened to take legal action against the government if the marginalization continues, saying that the Igbo people will no longer tolerate being treated as second-class citizens.
"We have been patient and have given the government the benefit of the doubt, but it is clear that the government is not interested in giving the Igbo people a fair share of appointments and opportunities," Nwodo said.
He pointed out that the Igbo people have been excluded from key appointments in the federal government, including the cabinet, security agencies, and other critical institutions.
"We have been marginalized and excluded from key appointments, and it is unacceptable," Nwodo said. "We will no longer tolerate this kind of treatment. We will take legal action if necessary to protect our rights and interests."
The organization also accused the government of not doing enough to address the security challenges facing the Igbo people, particularly in the South-East region.
"We have been calling for the government to take concrete steps to address the security challenges facing our people, but we have not seen any meaningful action," Nwodo said. "We will continue to demand justice and fairness for our people."
The statement by Ohanaeze Ndigbo is the latest in a series of criticisms against the Buhari government by the Igbo people, who feel that they have been marginalized and excluded from key appointments and opportunities.
The government has been accused of not doing enough to address the security challenges facing the Igbo people, particularly in the South-East region, where there have been reports of attacks and killings by unknown gunmen.
The situation has led to tensions between the government and the Igbo people, with many calling for greater representation and inclusion in the government.
It remains to be seen how the government will respond to the latest criticism from Ohanaeze Ndigbo, but it is clear that the issue of marginalization and exclusion is a sensitive one that needs to be addressed urgently.
