CONTRARY to fears being expressed in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari will overlook the South-East in appointments and execution of capital projects because the zone did not give him maximum support in the last election, he is out to woo the zone, a source has said.

According to the source, the President wants to carry all parts of the country along in his administration and would execute projects in the South-East that will surprise his ardent critics.


So far, the President appears not to have factored the South-East in his initial appointments of media aides and service chiefs.

Indeed, a private radio on Wednesday accused him of expressing anti-Igbo sentiments in a recent BBC Hausa Service.

The presidency has dismissed the private radio’s claim as unfounded. A statement issued by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said the claim was “completely false, malicious and slanderous” because the voice being ascribed to President Buhari in the recording repeatedly played back by the station was definitely not the President’s voice and the last interview the President had with the BBC Hausa Service, lasting not more than five minutes, was on the day he was declared winner and given his certificate of return as President-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

“President Buhari is the President of all Nigerians and will continue to treat all citizens on the basis of fairness, equality and equity,’’ he said and enjoined Nigerians to ignore all propaganda designed to sow seeds of discord among them and promote a separatist agenda against national unity, solidarity and progress.

Speaking on the issue, the source, which is part of the efforts to actualise Buhari’s change agenda, said: ”The president is out to Ndigbo that he does not hate them. Remember, he ran with late Dr Chuba Okadigbo and Chief Edwin Ume-Ezeoke for the presidency in 2003 and 2007. Now, he has agreed to be part of the burial of Owelle Chukwuma Azikiwe, the first son of Nigeria’s first President, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe.

”Besides, he has directed a committee, which has former Senator Chris Ngige and some Igbo leaders as members to assess the Zik’s mausoleum and speed up the reconstruction of the historic site.”
Indeed, a delegation from the Azikiwe family met the president recently to brief him on their preparedness for the Chukwuma Azikiwe’s burial.

Nice one Mr. President.

All hail the rising sun...the zoo must fall

Noice very nooiiice.

Was Zik not an hausaman?

Dats gud

They think say we are dumb ..

Mausoleum ko Morgue ni

Buhari dey fear biafran second cuming.ALL HAIL BIAFRA.THE ZOO MUST FALL. Hit like if you believe and share if you don't.

Irresponsible sensationalist heading!! What does woo mean Is he not the the president of the whole country.

Irrespective of what a small insignificant fraction of SE say or do, This country isn't breaking so he has to have a national reach in policies and projects..

There is nothing PMB can do for some these people that will please them, they will continue wailing!
BUNCH OF GULLIBLE JEWISH ALMAJIRIS!
NDI IBERIBE!

Hmmmm

Our dear Ibo brothers and sisters, you have a golden opportunity and this is a green light to national inclusion. You should embrace the president and take advantage of the moment. The political atmosphere will be your favor if you join hands and honor the leaders that will grace that occasion. Rebrand yourselves as Nigerians. focus on Nigeria and your pride of place becomes clearer for us all. We know industrialization is certain in the South-East as they are blessed with many intelligent and talented persons.

I love ZIK but we Igbos love OJUKWU more. It is too late my dear dulardi BIAFRA we want and BIAFRA we our have!

bring back to life millions of Biafran s brothers killed ,we want our land back simple.

oluwalfa:

Yeah, he was from Sokoto to be precise.

Mr.president, what we are asking for is neither to be well represented in ur government nor for mausoleum and well-fare of the dead but for better life of the living. Am sure the committee seted up wasnt of dead but the living, therefore priority should be given to catering for needs of the living. Mr president, our region(old easterners)desire now than never before that the sovereignity of BIAFRA REPUBLIC be restored and we are resolute about it, for in her our needs are guarranteed and our standard of living is bound to improve. Yes, it will be a combination of like minds and abilities, thus workable. Mr.pres. Nigeria could be liken to historical "Tower of Babel" in the bible that was pulled down due to sharp differences created among them by God. Ur are also in position to know that any company that runs at loss, its winding up is inevitable. Mr.pres nigeria has been running at loss.

BIAFRA we want!

BIAFRA we want!!

BIAFRA we want!!!

Even if they give us presidency we no want. Nigeria must fall

I thought Zik is a Nigerian. After all he's it's real founding father. Why isn't this considered a move to woo Yorubas?

Biafra live .

So sad that this people from the jungle of Biafra cannot even lay their elders in a befitting place.

We have a President!!
God bless my President!!

PhockPhockMan:



TOO LATE

Such a pity your opinion or that of your fellow hate mongers on this forum is totally irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Sulk all you want, what's gonna be is gonna be.

I do not see how 'agreeing' to participate in Chukwuma Azikiwe amount to wooing the Igbo. While he is wooing other regions with appointments into his govt, what the Igbo get is participation in the burial of a man whose family doesn't need any govt help burying. Whether he participates or not the dead will be buried. This is lubbish as my Tiv friend would say.
