The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has criticised president Mohammadu Buhari for his inability to correctly name ministries in the country during an interview with Arise Television.
Report has it that the President’s interview with Arise Television was aired on Monday where the president gave response over the alleged Marginalization of the Igbo in his appointment.
Meanwhile, the president during the interview said he has been fair to the people from South-East in terms of appointment in spite of the low number of votes he received from the region during the 2015 elections.
The president said “Somebody made an observation (and I made it clear for the first time) that I was not patronizing the Igbo from the south-east. I took the paper from him; 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 something from the whole of the south-east; 198, 000 which virtually any local government can give me. But I appointed ministers of foreign affairs, minister of labour, minister of industries and investment, minister of mines and tech.
“But these four, I never knew them from Adam. But from seven states of the north, I have ministers of states, they are under these ministers. How fair do you want me to be?
“So I threw him away with his paper.”
In reaction to this interview, Kanu took to his twitter handle stating that the president is an imposter. He added that the “late” president was familiar with his key ministries.
Kanu tweeted: “In the heavily edited and fraudulent interview, @NGRPresident (Jubril) couldn’t name his ministries. Help from journalist that there’s no Mines & Tech but Science & Tech, fell on deaf ears. Dead Buhari was dumb but he knew his key ministries? #UnmaskJubril.”
