President Muhammadu Buhari
The Anambra State branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari over his exclusion of Igbos in his recent appointments.
The Anambra PDP also said that any attempt by the Buhari-led Federal Government to continue to ridicule and reduce the Igbo nation would be firmly resisted.
This was contained in a statement released on Sunday, August 30, 2015, by the state Chairman, Ken Emeakayi.
It reads:
“Let
it be known here and now, very loud and clear that the Igbos are not,
have not been and can never be second class citizens under any guise to
anyone or political party in this country Nigeria and that any attempt
to continue to ridicule and to reduce even the smallest member among the
family of the Igbo nation, shall be met with the strongest opposition
and resistance from all Igbos irrespective of party lineage and/or
affiliations.”
“Our dear President made
no pretences in confirming that hard time awaits Ndi-Igbo and all those
that did not vote for the APC in the last general elections, and from
all the appointments made so far by President Buhari and the APC, the
handwriting on the wall as well as the message that the Igbo nation has
no place and/or future with the Buhari administration and in the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has become increasingly manifest.”
“While
we have no regrets whatsoever as members of PDP and the faithful
supporters of former President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan during
the last presidential election, we cannot pretend to be happy seeing
that our brothers and sisters from the South-East even the APC members
who supported President Buhari during the election are now being
victimized and marginalized for no reasons other than that they are
Igbos.”
“There are eminently qualified
Igbo sons and daughters who are APC members, including those that have
joined on the account of the outcome of the 2015 general elections, and
as such, the APC-led Federal Government is morally bound not only to
give equal opportunities to the people of the South-East zone
commensurate and similar to the appointments being given to their
colleagues from the Northern part of Nigeria and the Southwest, but it
is incumbent on President Buhari and the APC to treat the Igbo nation as
an indispensable and integral part of one indivisible Nigeria
federating unit.”
The Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC) had, on Friday, August 28, criticized Buhari for the appointments which it said were “totally unacceptable to Ndigbo.”
