President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia
Nwodo, has said the military carefully structured the 1999 Constitution
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria against Ndigbo.
Nwodo who was guest on Arise TV’s live personality interview
programme noted that the constitution was based on extreme
discrimination and jaundiced against his people. He noted that the Igbo
by every available record should not have the least number of local
government areas, states and National Assembly seats.
“The military designed a constitution at the end of the war to
contain the Igbo. We have the smallest number of local governments of
all the six geopolitical zones; smallest number of representatives in
the National Assembly; the smallest number of local government councils,
two states in the North West of Nigeria have as much local governments
as we have in the South East,” he said.
The Ohanaeze leader also said the mandate of the apex Igbo body was
not to actualise a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction but to push for
a restructured federation where everybody would be free to achieve its
dreams; an egalitarian society where people develop at their pace.
Ndigbo, he said, had been contained by the federal authorities,
through its policies and programmes, but stated that their potential;
energies, creativity and industry would enable them emerge at the world
stage. Nwodo also said that there was no alternative to restructuring
the country even as he accused President Muhammadu Buhari of not being
faithful to his manifesto.
He recalled that Buhari had promised to restructure Nigeria during
the 2014 electioneering but reneged after he won the election.
“The president has not been faithful to his manifesto. After he won
the election, his party set up a committee on restructuring headed by
Kaduna state Governor, Nasir el-Rufai and they made this report that
which was accepted by the national leadership of his party.
“And when he faced interviewed by the press, he said that our problem was not structure but process.
“He swallowed his manifesto; he swallowed the decision of his
national executive committee and he says we are looking for our personal
interest. It’s rather the president that is looking for his own
personal interest,” Nwodo stated.
The Ohanaeze chieftain insisted that the president has failed it by not resonating the aspirations of majority of Nigerian.
He further condemned the detention of convener of #RevolutionNow
protests, Omoyele Sowore, and for the umpteenth time, called for the
unbanning of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
He also flayed the president for recycling some members of his
cabinet, especially those that have corruption cases pending in the
court as well those under the investigation of the antigraft agencies.
