Present Igbo Leaders Worst In History — Group

Present Igbo Leaders Worst In History — Group

An Igbo grassroots socio-cultural, Imeobi Igbo Forum, has described the present crop of politicians in the South-East as the worst in history.

National Chairman of the forum, Dr Mike Ikegulu who stated this in a press statement on Monday said that the public utterances of most Igbo leaders are disappointing and painful.

“Since the emergence of the present crop of Igbo political and business elites, Ndigbo have continued to be shamed and short-changed. We are not genuinely being represented in any sphere of Nigerian affairs.

“Their public conduct and utterances are disappointing and painful, just to please the chieftains of some ethnic groups. These Igbo elites have raped and abandoned Ndigbo.

“Those at the national assembly are insensitive to our collective interests. Never lending a voice on anything of interest to Ndigbo for pecuniary interest and personal aggrandizement,” Ikegulu said.

He called on the people to take advantage of the ongoing registration of the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to register and be ready to vote out leaders who have not meant well for the region.

“They keep mum over the atrocities committed by occupying forces and the continuing intimidation and slaughter of Igbo youths for agitation.

“Igbo politicians followed the dollars in the party primaries, disregarding the recurring political realities which give us the short end of the stick.

“The present and future generations of Ndigbo will look down on the present group of Igbo political and economic elites who have largely relocated to Abuja, as the worst in history.

“The present Igbo legislators in the national assembly should not be allowed back, for toying with the destiny of Ndigbo, in the complex country of Nigeria.”

“They are there for self, family and friends. One wonders why they are gearing up to return to the same indolent representation at the national assembly in 2023”.

“Even the serving governors are buying their way to the senate as a retirement home, this is unacceptable to us.”
