Sen Moa Ohabunwa - Buhari can't succeed without Ndigbo

Senator Mao Ohiabunwua representing Abia North district, has told President Muhammadu Buhari, that his administration would be a flop if he continues to sideline the Igbos.

The Peoples Democratic Party Senator who made the assertion on Saturday in an interview with journalists in Umuahia, Abia State capital, expressed disappointment in Buhari for excluding the South East zone in his appointments so far.

The former Speaker, ECOWAS parliament, described the deliberate exclusion of the South East from the political equilibrium of Nigeria by the All Progressives Congress-led federal government as “a time bomb waiting for explosion.”

He said, “I don’t believe we can be running this country without Ndigbo. I believe that sidelining Ndigbo is a time bomb that is waiting to explode.”

Ohuabunwa told Buhari to stop denying Ndigbo opportunities to serve in his administration under the pretense of searching for saints, contending that Ndigbo parades an army of people with unquestionable character.

He asked Buhari to go outside the APC camp and choose other competent hands with proven integrity from the zone, carrying Ndigbo along.

“But since the man said he is looking for people with impeccable character, lets assume he hasn’t found any among South East APC members. Let him come to me and I would donate a man of integrity to him.
