•Says Buhari needs competent people to fight
corruption
CHIEF Godwin Ezeemo was the Anambra State
governorship candidate of the Progressive
Peoples Alliance, PPA in the 2013 polls. In this
interview, he explains why President
Muhammadu Buhari should constitute a unity
government. He also spoke on other issues.
By JohnBosco Agbakwuru
How do you think the Igbo would fare in this
dispensation under President Buhari?
I believe they are prepared and can play the
role of opposition in this dispensation. I said
this because they are seen as not having voted
for Buhari. They voted for the All Progressives
Congress,APC but the bulk of their votes went
to the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP and other
parties. I am interested in seeing what will
happen.
I was in Buhari’s office in Kaduna in 2013 and
I saw his character and humble office.
Display of wealth
Ezeemo
That made me to really appreciate the type of
person he is. He wasn’t displaying wealth
rather he was displaying the confidence that he
has the ability to bring everybody together, and
I strongly believe he can.
Ndigbo do not need to vote for Buhari to get
their share of the national cake. It is their
inalienable right to get what is due them. If
they don’t get it, then whoever is the president
should know that he is not doing well. It is
now that Buhari will use his position to bring
this nation together for onward march to
where we want it to be.
Do you have the same level of confidence in
APC governors?
I will not tell you that I have the same level of
confidence in the governors but given the fact
that Buhari himself has what it takes to make
Nigeria work is enough to change their attitude
to governance.
Some are of the view that President Buhari
should constitute a government of national unity,
do you share this view?
I share the view because APC as a party does
not own Buhari, rather he is the President of
the entire country. Every ethnic group deserves
to be carried along.
Can we know your expectations from this
administration?
The availability of power in the country is
nothing to write home about. If we have
constant power supply, industries will spring
up in all nooks and crannies of this nation,
jobs will be generated for the people and as
such people will not be idle.
Secondly, if there is constant power supply,
agriculture can take off because we are still
struggling in agriculture. Without power, there
is no way people can engage in agriculture.
Virtually all the industries we have in this
country are light industries. We don’t have
heavy duty industries. It is when we have
heavy duty industries that the light industries
can take off because the heavy duty industries
will produce all the raw materials needed in
the light industries. So, in everything, power is
essential. Availability of power will equally
bring down the cost of living. Our hotels are
the most expensive in the world and the reason
is that they power the hotels with generators.
It is a big problem. I am telling you this out of
experience because I am an industrialist and I
know the problems I go through.
Also, the government should be inclusive.
Everybody should be given a place, whether
they voted for APC or not. APC, I believe, is a
party that wants to make sure that Nigerians
support them and they can only do it by doing
what is right.
How do you want the administration to handle
the issue of corruption?
This is going to be a very difficult area for the
administration. The President cannot be
everywhere, even though we see him to be an
upright person.
Ability to deliver
What I will suggest is that he must pick people
that can deliver. He should not pick people
because they come from a particular geo-
political area not minding his or her ability to
deliver. If he picks incompetent persons, they
will let him down and he will be blamed for it.
For instance former President Goodluck
Jonathan had good intentions for this country
but those around him were more interested in
what they could get. And they were doing
things with impunity.
He is a good man and could have performed
better than he did. President Buhari should
therefore exercise caution over who he picks to
work with him. If he gets the right people to
work with him, we will be able to fight
corruption collectively.

Sure

True!?

It is not yet time for the sharing of national cake. So the Igbos should hold their peace until time for ministerial appointments. For now, security is a serious matter to appoint any Igbo person into any sensitive security position. because we saw how the Igbos messed up our brother GEJ's govt in the name of giving him support.

Beside Onu,utomi,Oby and Ngige, Buhari shouldn't give them any other thing! They deserve nothing, imagine a vote of not more than 20,000 in all eastern state for Buhari, that was pure wickedness,tribalism or watever you called it! They shout Biafra I can't imagine how many yeebos will b willing to leave there properties in lagos and go back to east. More than 60% of them ain't staying in their region.

They can't chose for the igbos whom to vote for, this is democracy
