President-elect, Bola Tinubu’s non-inclusion of Igbo people in the committee set up by him for the May 29 handover activities has stirred up anger from Ohanaeze Igbo.

National vice president of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene said:

“Igbophobia is in Tinubu’s veins and by not including Igbo people in the handover committee, he is only trying to reopen old wounds.”

“He inherited the hatred Buhari has against Igbo, especially when the President-elect has said he will continue from where the incumbent president stopped.”

“He said he will continue with Buhari policies and our question is, what is he continuing?”

“Is it to continue the marginalisation of a particular ethnic group?”

“Ohanaeze has not even accepted his election and whatever he is doing is personal to him. What we know is that those who want to divide Nigeria will surely fail.”

“Ohanaeze is not in a hurry to recognise Tinubu as the President-elect because any house built on a faulty foundation is bound to collapse.”

“We believe that the process of the 2023 presidential election is still on.”

“The voting has been done and the court has taken over and until the outcome of the court process is known, we cannot take a stand on the 2023 election.”

“It is unfortunate that Tinubu is toeing the path of disunity, although some Igbo people may think they are on his side, there is a saying that an injury to one Igbo man is injury to all Igbo.”
