Chief (Mrs) Calista Nkiru Adimachukwu (Mmilioma), National Women Leader, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, speaks on the regret, gains and expectations of Igbo people from President Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

What is your perspective on the Igbo question in Nigeria ?

The Igbo are the highest contributors to Nigerian independence compared to other regions. But it is sad to note that since independence in 1960, other regions have countered Igbo objectives. The Igbo have not been given the opportunity to taste solid leadership in Nigeria. Even after Nigeria got independence, Dr, Nnamdi Azikiwe, was made a ceremonial President whereas his NCNC and Awolowo’s AG were capable of forming a solid government and producing the Prime Minister. Azikiwe sacrificed that for the peaceful existence and unity of Nigeria.

Although Azikiwe had support from Awolowo, he reasoned that if the West and East teamed up against the North to form government, the nation may lose its equilibrium as the North might feel short-changed. Therefore, Azikiwe sacrificed that chance for the unity of Nigeria. In fact, the Igbo do not even want to talk about the circumstances surrounding the death of Major Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi. Even in the Fourth Republic, Dr Alex Ekwueme contributed immensely to the formation of the PDP, thinking that probably the Igbo might get the chance to control the central government.

OK

we are too proud to stoop that low, our pride is our power. we are the ones neglecting Buhari sef, that is why when they think they are punishing us, we get it done ourselves

What are these fools saying? What right is Buhari actually denying them? You should channel your frustrations to pdp who zoned the presidency to the north after all the support you gave them and to be honest, if the igbos don't stop playing this dirty politics of hate, they will NEVER EVER smell aso rock.

These chest beaters again! What are you proud of? What else do you know how to do better than others aside trafficking you-know-what. Common appointments made by the president gave you sleepless nights and you are here saying you don't need him.
