President Muhammadu Buhari has once again disagreed with those who criticise him for allegedly marginalising the Igbo of the South East.
The President while answering questions during an interview with Arise TV, noted he had been impartial to the region despite getting low votes from its people during the 2015 elections.
Buhari said, “Somebody made an observation that I was not patronising the Igbo from the South East. I told him that when I won the election, I studied the amount of votes I got from all the geopolitical zones.
“I said I got 198,000 from the whole of the South East, which virtually any local government can give me. But I appointed ministers of foreign affairs, labour, industries, and investment, mines, and tech; these four; I never knew them from Adam. Ministers of States from seven states of the north are under these ministers. How fair do you want me to be?” he asked.
