A chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress, APC and former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu
has insisted that the South East region is being marginalized.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in
a meeting with Igbo leaders last week, stated that the region is not
marginalized in any form.
But fielding questions from AIT
concerning issues arising from the region, the former governor maintained that
the “The South-East is marginalised.”
Kalu said even though he was
trained in the North, he was not afraid of speaking the truth about the
condition of the Igbos.
He added, “I can tell you this: I
was trained by the Hausa/Fulani people, but I am not afraid of speaking the
truth. The South is truly marginalised and that is the truth.
“Nobody say that the South-East
is not marginalised. Since the end of the civil war, the treatment meted on the
South- East is different, amenities given to people from the South-East is
different.
“If anyone says anything
contrary, bring him on and I will tell him why we are marginalised.
“The present government should
look at its appointments; it should look at who gets what and balance it. It
doesn’t sound good that you have service chiefs with non from the South-East.
“No matter who is the president,
vice president or Senate president and you don’t even have one Igbo holding a
position, I mean a legitimate position among the service chiefs, it is not
right at all.
“Whatever is worth doing is worth
doing well. As a member of the APC, have you made any move to achieve what you
just said? Of course, I’ve been making moves.”
