President Muhammadu Buhari has been implored not to think of the Igbo as being his enemies and should consider the little involvement of Ndigbo in major corruption cases in the country, elder-statesman, Chief Emmanuel Iwanyanwu has said.

Speaking when he received Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the emir of Bichi in his Owerri residence, Iwanyanwu while lauding President Buhari for his anti-corruption actions urged him to embrace Ndigbo who he said were partners in progress.

He said:

“He is not corrupt. Nobody should tell me that Buhari is not fighting corruption. He introduced War Against Indiscipline in this country. His lifestyle is simple. But he thinks Ndigbo hate him. We don’t hate him.

“Ndigbo believe in what Buhari believes in — that corruption should be stopped. That’s why you can hardly see any Igbo man in the list of corrupt Nigerians or those being prosecuted by the EFCC for corruption.

“Though, we may have some cases of 419. But, look at the case where our country was defrauded to the tune of $9.6billion. You can’t find any Igbo man there because we believe in what Buhari believes.

“But some people give wrong impression that Ndigbo hate Buhari. That’s not true.

“The only thing Ndigbo want is to be given our due in the country. Anything that is due to us, give it to us. When these things are not done and our people agitate for them, it looks as if Igbo hate Buhari.”
