A chieftain of Ohane­ze Ndigbo, Chief Ozo Anaekwe has blamed President Mu­hammadu Buhari’s mar­ginalization of Ndigbo in his few months in office for the renewed agitation for Biafra by the members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in the South-east and South-south parts of the country.

Anaekwe who spoke with newsmen in Onitsha, said that Buhari’s utter­ances, policies and actions spurred the agitation by the members of IPOB and MASSOB
“How can you appoint people to govern Nigeria and you ignored Ndigbo with their mammoth popu­lation and contribution to the development of this country? And since Buhari became President, he had never uttered a word or tak­en action that would bring peace to this country. He has not acted like a statesman. He is on a revenge mission. He talks as if he is on a war front,” said Anaekwe.
He said that the protest by the members of IPOB was as a result of the continuous marginalization, intimida­tion and injustice meted out to their people.
