The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organisation has faulted
the omission of Igbo from the transition committee list of the President-elect,
Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu had forwarded a 13-man list, in addition to the
earlier transition committee list sent to the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation, Boss Mustapha.
It was observed that the Southeast was excluded from the list
submitted to Mustapha.
Speaking, Isiguzoro urged Tinubu to
integrate Igbos at the federal level.
According to him: “Ndigbo will give total support to Tinubu
and we are emphasizing that he should integrate the Southeast properly into the
centre and ensure he creates a government of national unity.
“We are shocked that among the people enlisted by the
president-elect that there was no Igbo person in the transition committee
forwarded by Asiwaju.
“This portends danger. We want to believe that those who
assisted Asiwaju made a great mistake.
“For such a mistake to come at this hour, it portends danger
to the unity of the country.”
Isiguzoro also urged: “Tinubu must ensure that people from
the opposition who were sacrificed, from the South, like Wike, Chimaroke
Nnamani, Ikpeazu, Ortom, and Ugwanyi who paid the supreme price by ensuring a
smooth transition of power from the North to the South should be integrated
into the government of national unity.”
