FG Has Neglected Igbos – Iwuanyanwu
By Ogbolu George
Chyna Iwuanyanwu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has totally left Igbos out of the scheme of things in Nigeria.
Speaking with Daily Sun, he attributed the alleged neglect of the Igbo by the Federal Government to their agitation for Biafra.
”If any government in Nigeria has aggravated the Pro-Biafra agitation, it is this government, the government came in and was obviously hostile to the South-East, you can see a whole kitchen cabinet, nobody from the South-East, the whole architecture of security, Police, Army, Navy, nobody from the South- East, so the people are feeling alienated and marginalized, particularly the younger generation.
”We the older generation is used to it since during the war till now but the younger generation do not see what they did wrong in the country called Nigeria that they are being treated like this.
”The government did not give them a sense of belonging, so they developed a sense of ‘Let us go,’ that is what IPOB is all about. It is a reaction to feeling of injustice and unless the government sees it like that and responds to the situation, it will only be aggravated,” he said.
