A First Republic Aviation
Minister, Mbazulike Amaechi, has reacted angrily to the statement credited to
President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigerian soldiers were soft on Igbo during the
Civil War.
According to Amaechi, the
statement by the President amounted to a challenge to God who made it possible
for Igbo remnants to survive the planned war of genocide against them.
Speaking with reporters in
reaction to the President’s assertion, Amaechi said, “Is Buhari God? Does he
think that could have happened without the will of God? Is that that why he
allowed the Fulani herdsmen to continue to unleash mayhem to accomplish what
could have been accomplished during the civil war?”
He called on, “Igbo to use their
tongues to count their teeth and realise that it has become quite imperative
for them to unite to speak with one voice and pursue their common interest, knowing
full well that they are endangered species in the Nigerian project.
The former Minister, whose son,
Ikenna, is contesting for the Senate said he gave his son his blessings and his
symbol of authority ‘ofo’ to go ahead and continue from where he stopped in
serving Nigeria “and I want him to go there and be me.”
