In a blunt interview on TVC TV, the Zonal Chairman of the All Progressive Congress in SouthEast, 0 argues that the perceived marginalization of the Igbo people is primarily based on their lack of representation in political positions, not the lack of development or infrastructure.
He compares the Igbo to a tribe in India that is successful in business, emphasizing that economic success is more important than political positions.
He expresses confidence in President Tinubu's fairness and his commitment to justice, suggesting that the Igbo will eventually receive their rightful share of political appointments.
He portrays the Igbo as an industrious people who prioritize economic success over political power.
He said, "Our agitation when people talk about marginalization, they are only talking about political positions. I know of a tribe in India that produces billionaires, they are not interested in politics. They are interested in doing business and they are very good business people. Yes, I agree that we will always ask for more positions and more appointments in this administration. And I believe that the president is a man of honor, a man of dignity, and he knows fairness. So, in due course, we will be getting our due presentation."
