Buhari Has Really Marginalized Ndigbo, I Regret My Role In 2015 Elections - Okorocha Confesses
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State Tuesday dispensed with partisan
considerations to broach issues of core interest to the Igbo nation.
According to New Telegraph,
the governor gave detailed account of marginalization of people of the
South-East and Imo State when Acting President Yemi Osibanjo visited the
state on strategic consultations.
His words: “No other group in Nigeria that had invested as much into
our nationhood can sing the song of marginalisation as much as Ndigbo
has been made to sing it.
We have nothing to show that we are part of the Nigerian project;
neither do we have any sense of belonging in the present government at
the national level. “We have been marginalised both in terms of projects
and appointments.
In Imo State, for instance, all we have is a Minister of State to
show for all the efforts and extreme sacrifices we made to ensure that
the All Progressive Congress (APC) had a good outing in the last general
elections.”
“I beg that as the government gives subsequent appointments, let the
qualified sons and daughters of the state and region be considered".
