***Blame yourself if Nigeria breaks
President Muhammadu Buhari would only have himself to blame if Nigeria eventually breaks into pieces due to his crass nepotism, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex decision-making body of the Igbo people, has warned.
It was the umbrella Igbo socio-cultural organisation’s reaction to the total exclusion of the entire South East in the power-sharing arrangement of Nigeria, where all the arms of government are headed by the North.
In a statement by the President-General, Chief Nnia Nwodo, on Friday, Ohanaeze warned that Buhari had left Nigeria totally broken without a future given the current structural imbalance in the political spectrum of the country.
His words: “There is no future for Nigeria. As long as the north decides to be unreasonable and unrealistic, this country can never get better.
The country is only heading for implosion as long as equity and fairness is denied some sections of the country.
The only solution is restructuring or the country will eventually hit the rocks – if not today, tomorrow. What does it cost to be fair and live in peace?
“Certainly, nobody will blame anybody if emotion runs high and the thread holding the country becomes thin and snaps. No condition is permanent in life. There are ominous signs and the clouds are gathering.
“Let the remaining generation that witnessed the Nigerian civil war recant and save the country from the cataclysm that will envelop her if the upcoming generation are allowed to inherit the callousness and wickedness pervading the land now. Nigerians beware of civil war.”
