Buhari wooing Igbos with Zik’s tomb? How INANE they can be!

As Biafrans are waxing stronger with quest for freedom from Nigerian shackles, Muhammadu Buhari felt that they only way he can woo Igbos is by rebuiding Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik)'s tomb. 

A report by Vangaurd stated thus "contrary to fears being expressed in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari will overlook the South-East in appointments and execution of capital projects because the zone did not give him maximum support in the last election, he is out to woo the zone, a source has said."

So rebuilding Ziks tomb is capital project for one of the key nations in Nigeria? How inane they can be!! Biafrans are gunning for freedom and not freebies and worthless bribes from Buhari!

Biafra is decorated with dilapidated roads requiring attention, no functional international airport, no refinery and major industries in the region and Buhari wants Biafrans to jump because of his mere promise to rebuild Zik's tomb and phantom projects.  

It has always been a deliberate policy of successive Nigerian governments to subjugate Biafra and render it economically and political useless, since after the Biafra-Nigeria War.

According to the source, the President wants to carry all parts of the country along in his administration and would execute projects in the South-East that will surprise his ardent critics.

It has always been one unfulfilled promise or the other. Goodluck Jonathan stated that he would go on exile if he did not complete the 2nd Niger Bridge. Today Julius Berger, the construction company contracted to do the job has packed out of site having been starved of funds, according to reports that filtered in this week. 

Zik's tomb

"So far, the President appears not to have factored the South-East in his initial appointments of media aides and service chiefs.

“President Buhari is the President of all Nigerians and will continue to treat all citizens on the basis of fairness, equality and equity.

"The president is out to Ndigbo that he does not hate them. Remember, he ran with late Dr Chuba Okadigbo and Chief Edwin Ume-Ezeoke for the presidency in 2003 and 2007. Now, he has agreed to be part of the burial of Owelle Chukwuma Azikiwe, the first son of Nigeria’s first President, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe.

"Besides, he has directed a committee, which has former Senator Chris Ngige and some Igbo leaders as members to assess the Zik’s mausoleum and speed up the reconstruction of the historic site.”

Indeed, a delegation from the Azikiwe family met the president recently to brief him on their preparedness for the Chukwuma Azikiwe’s burial.
