Why Igbo feel unwanted in Nigeria — Ohanaeze President, Nwodo

The President-General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, John Nwodo, has declared that Igbos feel unwanted in Nigeria. Nwodo explained that the feel is due to the marginalisation of the people from the South Eastern part of the country.Addressing journalists in Porrt Harcourt, Rivers State, Nwodo said, “Our people feel unwanted in the Nigerian federation; our people feel ill-treated.He noted that the Igbo race had been seen as “being incompetent, incapable, or unreliable of being vested with the headship of any of the security agencies in Nigeria.Nwodo said, “Under the constitution of Nigeria, you have freedom of expression and freedom of association. If somebody says he wants Biafra, he is free to say so as long as he is saying it in a legitimate way. He can take his petition to the National Assembly.
