Igbo Leaders met with President Buhari in Aso Villa |
Though none of this delegation agreed to field questions when approached by State House correspondents, but according to Daily Sun, the delegation being APC members from South-East told President Buhari that Igbo does not believe the allegation that he does not like them, as he had, in the past, picked a vice presidential candidate from the South-East. Also, the delegation told the president that the fact that the second Niger Bridge was accommodated in the 2016 budget was an indication that he loves Ndigbo. The delegation, however, asked him to extend more appointments to Igbo in order to help the APC gain a better foothold in the region.
The delegation also demanded that Buhari visits South East and personally receive Igbo who would defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
On the pro-Biafra agitation, the delegation told President Buhari that the detention of Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is fuelling it, while suggesting that his release would douse the tension.
In his reply, Buhari reportedly told the delegation that the notion that he hates Igbo is not true. He was said to have told the visitors that children of the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, are his friends.He told the delegation also that if he does not like Igbo he would not have received them, while promising that he will continue to work with South easterners.
