A House of Representatives member, Mr. Sopuluchukwu Ezeonwuka, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of marginalizing the Igbos, saying that he is not acting like he is the president of the country.
Ezeonwuka, who represents Orumba North-South in Anambra State, spoke at Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area of the State on Saturday during his reception by the Okeani General Assembly.
He said Buhari was lopsided in his actions, adding that from the appointments he made so far, he favoured the North the most.

He said, “The moment you contested an election and won, you became the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the President of the North or South.
“Check out the appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari, south easterners were nowhere. In appointments of 24 persons, you have 21 from the North, one or two in the South-West, one in the South-South, and none in the South-East.
“It’s quite unfortunate that Buhari has not yet assumed the position of the President of Nigeria. He is like somebody on a specific mission.”
The lawmaker, who is a member of the House Committee on Customs, further lamented that no person of Igbo origin was represented in the Customs management.

“The APC government should know that we are an integral part of this country called Nigeria.
“One thing is clear, the marginalisation of the Igbo will not last long. If you keep telling some people that you don’t want them, they can take a decision,” he said.
