First Republic minister, Mbazulike
Amaechi, stated that governors of the South-East are behaving like Jelly fish
and hiding their heads in the sand like ostriches.
He said this while calling on the
Igbo to reject the call for the setting up of cattle colonies.
He also said Nigeria was being
ruled by laws unknown to the majority of its citizens.
The elder statesman said this on
Tuesday at a meeting of the Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, at the
Universal Hotel, Enugu.
Other Igbo leaders in the gathering
were Dr Azikiwe’s widow, Prof Uche Azikiwe, foremost Constitutional Lawyer,
Prof Ben Nwabueze, former Director General of the National Orientation Agency
and Secretary of Igbo Leaders of Thought, ILT, Prof Elochukwu Amucheazi, Deputy
National Chairman of ECA, Chief (Mrs) Maria Okwor as well as Mr Aniekan
Akamkpan and Douglas Warmate, both leaders from Akwa Ibom State and the
Calabari Kingdom respectively.
While giving reason for his call
for the rejection of the cattle colony, Amaechi said the proposal was meant to
Islamise Nigeria.
According to Amaechi, the Fulani
in the country were waging both the Boko Haram and herdsmen wars on Nigerians
as long plans to force Christians and worshippers of other religions to become
Muslims.
He said, “In Borno, they are
killing the Kanuri who defeated the jihadists from the Utman Dan Fodio Empire.
“They are also killing people of
Zangon Kataf in Kaduna, Tivs in Benue, as well as natives of Taraba- the
Jukuns.
“In the southern part of Nigeria,
it is only Governor Ayo Fayose that is fighting for the people. The governors
of the South East are like jelly fishes. They are hiding their heads in the
sand like ostriches.”
