Former Governor of Anambra State, Okwadike Chukwuemeka Ezeife has reportedly dragged President Mohammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Army to the United Nations (UN) over the torture and killings of defenceless members of the Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).
Ezeife who spoke on Friday at the AIT Kakaki Programme, also insisted that President Buhari was a hater of Ndigbo.
Below are some of his responses during the interview.
“In his first ever appointment”, Buhari, “after he assumed office, he appointed 47 persons into lucrative positions without a single Igbo man having a shot. Buhari has an adopted hatred for a whole Igbo race; he hates the Easterners for a passion. Remember there are six topmost positions in Nigeria”, (presumably the: President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, Chief Justice of the Nigeria, and Secretary to Federal Govt), “everybody thought Buhari would at least let an Igbo man have the post of the Secretary to Federal Government, which is the least of them all, yet again that hatred manifested.
“Now look at his latest appointment into the NNPC management positions, a whole 15 of them, no single Igbo man. What do you call that? Are you surprise to notice resentment against this govt here and there?”.
On the viral video going around where Hausa Fulani soldiers, forced some Igbos to suffocate themselves in a mud he said: “We are taking that video to the United Nations today; the moment I leave here, we’re on way to United Nations to officially launch our report so the world can know what is hatred”.
Ezeife debunked claims that Nnamdi Kanu was engaging in secessionist activities, noting: “Nnamdi is never a secessionist and has never engaged in any resemblance of secessionist activity. Listen, young lady, Self determination is different from secession. Secession is a violent act where you declare yourself an independent state, while Self determination is a legitimate process recognized by law through people can seek a country of their own. All Nnamdi is calling is a Referendum. How can anybody call that.”
