Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has restated that the entire Igboland is marginalised.
Okorocha, it would be recalled, earlier this year said no ethnic group in Nigeria has suffered the magnitude of marginalisation seen with Igbos under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

The governor claims there is no single federal presence in the entire South East, hence the agitation for secession by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
“The South-East has been neglected overtime politically, economically, socially and all that,” said Governor Okorocha.
“Their roads are impassable; you cannot pass Port Harcourt road, Enugu road, Aba Road, Bayelsa road and all the roads.
“You can hardly see federal government presence in the South-East, all the things you see are through self help.
“Even the Onitsha Bridge has been a theoretical talk, fabrications which does not represent realities.”

“Some of us have taken it upon ourselves to reach out to these young men and talk to them.
“We must understand that our young men are frustrated; if they are as comfortable as we are they will not be able to say those things they are saying.”
