Why Igbo seeking presidency through Buhari need to re-examine their DNA – Ex-Minister, Nwosu
A former Minister of Health, Professor Alphonsus Bosah Chukwurah Nwosu, has lambasted people of the South East advocating for Igbo Presidency through President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
Nwosu, who was a Minister during the administration of ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo said those advocating for Igbo Presidency through Buhari need to have their DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, DNA, re-examined.
Speaking with Vanguard, Nwosu said, “I don’t want to abuse those people, otherwise, I would have used the strongest abuse for them. All I say is that such Ndi Igbo should have their Igboness and Igbo-DNA re-examined.
“How can a people who survived the civil war, how can a people who rebuilt themselves after 20 pounds ex-gratia award from their legitimate monies in Nigerian banks; how can a people whose education and careers were completely truncated by three years of a most vicious civil war; how can a people who did not have South East Reconstruction Commission and a lousy 3R programme and rebounded in 1979 less than 10 years after the end of the war begin now to mouth the nonsense that their future, their being, is dependent on voting for a particular political party and a particular individual even in their clear anti Igbo policies?
“Those Ndi Igbo have lost their credence in Igbo land and I challenge them to go and say these things in Onitsha market or Ariaria market in Aba.”
