Tinubu Serving Ndigbo ‘Bread Soaked In Water’ As Promised – Nwodo
The former National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, has said that Nigeria’s President-elect, Ahmed Tinubu, has started serving Ndigbo “a piece of bread soaked in water” as he threatened during the presidential campaigns.
GWG.ng reports that during the campaign in January that Tinubu had while at a rally at the Michael Okpara Square cautioned Ndigbo to work for his victory otherwise they would be left with bread soaked in water.
Tinubu had said: “… nobody will give you any credit, you are working hard, you’re sweating now. We want you to sweat well now for this party until you deliver victory. Until Bola Tinubu becomes the President of Nigeria, we will not give you but a soaked sliced bread.”
Speaking on Monday in an exclusive interview with Vanguard against the background of the exclusion of Ndigbo from the president-elect’s 13-man transition committee, Nwodo said that Tinubu was already serving the Igbo the promised “soaked bread”.
Nwodo, an ex-governor of Enugu State, said that any President of Nigeria who is not making conscientious efforts to unite the ethnic groups in Nigeria will fail woefully.
He equally bemoaned the repeated attacks on Igbo in Lagos State, who he said were being allegedly punished for voting their conscience during the general elections.
Besides the lamentation of Tinubu already serving Ndigbo with bread soaked in water, Nwodo also found fault with the apology of President Muhammadu Buhari over his percieved failures.
The elder statesman also said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s apology to Nigerians was belated and not enough to heal the trauma he caused Nigerians.
Nwodo, who gave an abysmal scorecard of 30% to the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government, said insecurity, ethnic bigotry and hunger festered across Nigeria during its reign.
The President had apologised to Nigerians, stating that he had done his best and cannot wait to head back home to Daura, in Katsina State.
