Buhari will be fair to the Igbo nation – Moghalu

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has assured Ndigbos that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, will be fair to them.

The APC National Auditor, Dr. George Moghalu gave this assurance, while speaking at a dinner organised by Igbo Progressives, IP, Lagos State chapter for leading Igbo personalities in the party.

He said: “The reality on the ground is that we have no ranking Senator or ranking member of the House of Representatives from the South-East. We can’t bid for the post of the Senate President, neither can we bid for the Speakership of the House of representatives. It is not about a wish, but about the pains I feel. It was politically wrong for us.”

“In the electioneering process, our people were not allowed to vote. The environment for our people to exercise their civic rights was not provided. We were denied the opportunity to vote, but at the same time, I feel bad as a person.

“I feel worried for the Igbo nation. So, as a people, we must realign and see to what extent we are going to get things done right.

“Fortunately for us, the leadership of General Buhari has expressed a desire to turn around the electoral process so that the people’s vote can count; so that the people can choose their leaders themselves.”

“On the ministerial list of the administration, which many have said that Igbo will be marginalized, the APC chieftain reassured that the list bandied about on social media should be disregarded, noting that Buhari and the party were yet to release the ministerial list.”

“One thing I know is that we have a fair-minded President. I know we also have a fair-minded National Chairman and the National Working Committee, NWC, members are committed to equity, justice and fairness.

“So, there is no way anyone can say the Igbo man is not part of the Nigerian project, otherwise what are people like us who are of Igbo extraction doing in the APC? I make bold to say that in the constitution of our party, every part of this country is considered a component part, and our leadership and government will carry everybody along. I am indeed confident that the interest of the Igbo man will be protected under the Buhari administration.”
