One cannot help but say a word on PMB’s appointments so far. It has been confirmed now that he has Igbo challenge. When he excluded the Southeast from the security council posts and one had mentioned it here that it was a calculated act of inequity, I had been assailed all round and branded a tribalist.
It has become plain now and even some of my traducers are yelping. I also said that ‘provocative discrimination’ (a la Tunde Thompson) against Ndigbo would harm PMB’s persona and presidency more than the victims of his calculated action. No matter how many more appointments to be made, the mindset is clear and obvious now. What has happened is neither a mistake nor an accident.
Now you hear people say, oh it’s true what they say about this man being parochial and hegemonic in nature. PMB is in danger of being recorded by history as a sectional and parochial leader. That would be sad indeed for a leader who would easily have become Africa’s greatest statesman out of Nigeria.
