Igbo Claim Of Marginalization-- Waku Attacks Ezeife

Senator Joseph Kennedy Waku has attacked the former governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, for insisting that the Igbo race were deprived the appointment of Secretary to the Government of the Federation by President Muhammadu Buhari in recent cabinet appointments.

Waku, who spoke to our reporter at the weekend in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, reminded the former Anambra governor of the alleged coup which he masterminded during the election campaigns when he rallied support against President Buhari alongside with his allies and voted massively for the Peoples Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the last general elections.

The controversial senator stated that today the former governor is crying of deprivation and marginalisation but he should have known that even in democracy, when you embark on coup and fail to achieve the result, invariably you suffer the consequence thereafter.

"To say the least, coup d'état is not only peculiar to military alone, even in democratic setting one can along with his people embark on a coup by voting for an individual or a particular section of his choice and if the desire is not achieved, you stand on your own and that is the implication of his action," Waku said.

The former governorship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress in Benue State contended that the entirety of the Igbo race as a nation had eminent people who are good enough to make the position of Secretary to the Government of the Federation but that Ezeife should not champion the crusade as he had contributed immensely to jeopardising of their (Igbo) case.
