The President of Ohanaeze Youth Wing, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has spoken
on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, saying Igbos deserve juicy ministries than what they
got in Buhari’s government. According to Mazi who spoke to a Punch reporter on
the telephone, Ogbonnaya Onu and Chris Ngige deserved ‘more influential’
ministries than Science and Technology, and Labour and Productivity,
respectively.

Mazi said; “We are disappointed that somebody of the calibre of Dr.
Ogbonnaya Onu was assigned to Science and Technology ministry, even Dr. Chris
Ngige should have been appointed as the Health Minister instead of Labour and
Productivity. Okechukwu Enalama should have been appointed Minister of Finance.
Igbo ministers did not get juicy portfolios, except perhaps Ibe Kachikwu and
Rotimi Amaechi, who are our brothers from the South-South. We are not happy
that we did not get the juicy portfolios, although we are happy that our brothers
from the Niger Delta got. Nevertheless, the era of impunity has gone and we
expect all the Igbo ministers to perform excellently. We expect them to close
ranks and work towards developing Igboland.” Continue…

Also, President of Njiko Igbo, Reverend Okechukwu Obioha, said Buhari
relegated Igbo ministers to the background in his cabinet. But he admitted that
the association was not surprised.

“They are adding more salt to the injury, we expected that. We can see
that we (Igbo) are not wanted in this country. At the moment, the sharing of
the national cake is between the North and the South-West. What will Ngige be
doing as Labour and Productivity minister when the Federal Government is not
employing anyone, or creating jobs? Even the Foreign Affairs portfolio that was
given to an Igboman (Geoffrey Onyeama) is of no consequence because already
Buhari has travelled to most of the countries and he will continue to do so. He
has travelled in six months more than the immediate past president travelled in
six years. So the Foreign Affairs minister will just be a rubber stamp. Buhari
has taken the Ministry of Petroleum Resources for himself, making an Igboman
the Minister of State. So, he (Buhari) has virtually given the Igbo nothing. But
the problem is this will lead to more agitation for Biafra,” Obioha said.
