Buhari is pursuing Northernization policy
against East, West – Onyike
A prominent Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP stalwart in Ebonyi state, Chief Abia Onyike weekend,
described the recent appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari as the
pursuit for the Northernization policy against the South East and South West
geopolitical zones of the country.
President Muhammadu Buhari
In a statement issued in Abakaliki,
the Ebonyi state capital, the social critic and politician explained that
Buhari lacked the qualities of one who is nationalistic and patriotic in
disposition and leadership.
The statement read in part: “Buhari
has ignored the fact that Nigeria is a multi-ethnic nation state. He is
deliberately pursuing a Northernization policy of alienating Nigeria’s two
other powerful regions – the East and the West.
“By making the sort of appointment
he made since assuming the Presidency, he he has shown that he lacks the
qualities of a Nationalist and patriot.
“The lopesided appointments
portrayed him more as a Northern operative and Caliphate fanatic. As it is now
the South East and South South have been vindicated for having viewed his
electoral bid very critical
“I made the observation long ago
that Buhari was wagging a secret war on the Igbos. His tragic electoral
performance in the South East should have cautioned him to make friends with
the East instead of becoming fiendish and jittery and planning to annihilate
the Igbos politically.
“He has made over 35 appointments
since assuming office and made sure nobody from the South East is there. Buhari
should not know that Nigeria is a tripod, made up of three regions. Anybody
ruling Nigeria must recognize this reality in the interest of peace, equity and
fairness.
“The creation of 19 states for the
North and manipulation of the census figures by successive military
dictatorship headed by Northerners does not make the North superior to other
regions.
“And now Buhari’s anti-corruption
crusade cannot stand because it is founded on a dubious political pedestal.
Buhari wants to use the probe to emasculate his perceived political enemies –
the Easterners while his Northern brothers will continue to retain their oil
block in a region outside theirs. He wants to be robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The resources he uses to run the
Federal government and maintain the appointment he makes comes from the East
yet he robs them to settle his Northern brothers. This is economic brigandage
and a more criminal level of political corruption
