By Chinonso Alozie 

A SOCIO-political organisation, Igboezue International, yesterday, said the political future of Igbo, would not depend on whether or not President Muhammadu Buhari is re-elected in 2019. Picking holes in comments by the President and All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders in the South-East that the political future of the Igbo rest on the re-election of Buhari in 2019, the President of the group, Mr. Pius Okoye, said equity demands that the Igbo should produce president in 2023 He said: “Despite the massive support President Buhari garnered from Igbo during his first tenure, his administration will go down in history as the administration that worsened the socio-economic woes of the ethnic nationality in terms of marginalisation, impoverishment and stagnant development. “Under the watch of President Buhari, the Igbo were marginalised in terms of political appointments, infrastructural developments and Federal Government welfare programmes. Ndigbo should not be deceived for the second time.”
