Why we didn’t support Buhari during the presidential election – Ndigbo has a revelation

by Azubuike Azikiwe

The apex socio-cultural organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo, says that it has no regrets for not supporting Muhammadu Buhari, in his presidential bid.

The national treasurer of the group, Chief Damian Ogene, speaking Awka, stated that the organisation supported President Goodluck Jonathan because of Buhari’s negative antecedents to Ndigbo.

Ogene stated that President-elect’s rejection during the election was to remind him of the injustices meted out against Igbo during his earlier tenure as military Head of State.

He said: “We are ready to co-operate with him and to believe in his administration in the hope that he will, this time, address the injustices meted out to us since after the Nigerian civil war.”

He also implored Buhari to deal only with the core people in Igbo land, rather than with the money-bags that were out of touch with Igbo nation and the masses.

“These billionaires have been using their oil money to block government from reaching the people at the grassroots level. He should liaise with people-oriented organisations like Anambra Association of Town Unions, ASATU, rather than with intermediaries,” he said.
