Ex- Senator Urges FG To Meet Demands Of Southeast

By Sampson Uhuegbu, Owerri

The Federal Government of Nigeria, has been called upon to pay attention to the demands of people of South East whom according to this former lawmaker, are crying over marginalization.

Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who represented the Imo East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, from 2015 to 2019, gave the advice at the weekend, in a statement issued by his Media aide, Ikenna Onuoha.

He recalled, that if June 12 was declared a Democracy Day to correct bad impression against illegality meted out at MKO Abiola, a Yoruba man, there is need to avoid obnoxious policies against Igbo people.

Anyanwu, a stalwart of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo State, regretted how the plights of the Igbo have remained worse since after the Civil war, noting that if war was declared no victor, no vanquish, a person from the zone was supposed to have ascended the number one position in the country.

“I want to urge President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to be sincere to every region. I wonder why Igbo are sidelined in the distributions of appointments by the ruling APC since the present administration came on board”, he explained
