The Ohaneze Ndigbo, the leading Igbo social-
political group, has told President Muhammadu
Buhari that no sane person will vote for him come
2019 Presidential election.
Speaking with Punch, the National Publicity
Secretary of Ohanaeze, Prince Uche Achi-Okpaga,
pointed out that Buhari’s failure to check the
menace of the herdsmen would affect his chances
for re-election in 2019.
Achi- Okpaga said that “no sane person would
vote for a government that was not able to secure
the lives of its citizens.”
He noted that it was strange that the country’s
security agencies, which he described the “best in
Africa”, had been unable to deal with the
herdsmen.
His words, “The spate of blatant and inconceivable
killings of helpless Nigerians by the Fulani
herdsmen have been so alarming and
uncontrollable. I have no doubt that the studied
silence of the Federal Government is deliberate.
“No sane person will risk to vote for a government
that has conspicuously displayed irresponsibility to
the security of her citizens.
“Apart from the killings at Nsukka and Awgu (Enugu
State), the people of Benue, in general, have been
severally and severely killed in tens and hundreds
without the Commander – in – Chief of the Armed
Forces , making a national broadcast or giving a
specific instruction on the matter even when the
treasury of Nigeria was depleted to give him
adequate medical attention to save his own life.”
