Buhari Dealing With S’East For Not Voting For Him — Ezeife

Former Anambra State Governor Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has said that
President Muhamadu Buhari is dealing with the people of the
South-East region because they failed to vote for him during
elections.

Ezeife said that when Buhari said that those perpetrating the
crime must be killed and tortured, he was supposed to find out
those committing the crime, stressing that narrowing it down to the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was deliberate to destroy the
young men in the region.

The former governor in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT said,
“Today what they do in the South-East is go to homes, pick young
men and kill them. Who will defend them? Who will fight for us? It
appears that there is a strategy to wipe out our youths.

“We should keep praying because the way things are now, it is
only God that can help us. We pray God to change the heart of
Buhari and make him realize that the fact that we didn’t vote for
him as much as he wanted, doesn’t make us a permanent enemy to be
killed.”

Responding to the question of the silence of the governors as
alleged in some quarters, Ezeife said it was not easy for some of
the governors in the region because the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) has gathered information about them and
they are blackmailing them with such information.

“Very soon we would have a leadership group that will not be
intimidated by any EFCC, leaders who could be hungry and would not
want to take any food. The media should help us to propagate some
of these things. We are not happy with the treatment the President
is giving us. The older people don’t want us to rush out of
Nigeria, we want the country restructured, it will be better for us
than having Biafra,” Ezeife said.

He added, “Those who blame the young people do so with little
understanding because when you are excluded from everything, hated
like Buhari is doing now, then you want to go. Buhari has less than
two years to go, and when he leaves, there is not going to be a
Nigerian President like him. Those supporting restructuring do so
in larger interest.”

He maintained that the leaders in the South-East have not rested
on their oars, and have been meeting. “We are going to have a press
conference to speak on the issue, appeal to the international
community. The leaders in the region are crying and working very
hard.

“We had a meeting of elders in Abuja, and a decision was made to
have a press conference, let the world know what we are passing
through. I was on Arise Television and African Independent
Television (AIT). President Buhari is determined to kill Ndigbo
because they didn’t vote for him. We want God to touch his heart,”
he said.
