Ohaneze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, has accused President Muhammadu of tribalism.
According to THE SUN, Ohaneze Ndigbo through its National Treasurer, Chief Damian Okeke- Ogene, expressed concern over the failure of the Buhari-led federal government to appoint any Igbo man into any office so far, since inception of the administration.
''President Buhari recently sacked five service chiefs and appointed five others as their replacement without looking the way of the South East, a development that has not gone down well with Ndigbo after they had missed out in the reckoning for Senate presidency and the speakership of the House of Representatives'', the Ohaneze treasurer said.
''In all these appointments, Buhari is bold to tell the Igbos that he based the appointments on merit, but it seems his basic yardstick for merit is Hausa-Fulani. It is good that it is happening now for some of our billionaire politicians, elders and captains of industry will now know that it’s time for us not just to think home but to actualize it.
''That is why we said we voted for the lesser evil as represented by former President, Goodluck Jonathan, because from Obasanjo’s time to now, Igbo have not been treated fairly by the federal government,” he stated.
Chief Okeke- Ogene noted that this was the best time for the South East Governors to provide the enabling environment to help the industrialists from the zone to make it viable for them to establish industries.
