Igbos proudly took sides with you-Ohanaeze tells Buhari

The leader of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Caretaker Committee, Chief Ralph Obioha, yesterday, told the President-elect, General Muhammed Buhari, that President Jonathan lied to the Igbo nation about awarding contract for the construction of Second Niger bridge and major federal roads in the South East.
According to Vanguard, speaking during a congratulatory visit to the president-elect at the Defense House, Abuha, Obioha  said:

“This is a delegation of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Caretaker Committee, who proudly took side with you, convinced that what Nigeria needs today is the leadership that you will provide to rebuild our battered and pulverized nation. The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Caretaker Committee is fully aware of the difficult and daunting work that has befallen on your shoulders. And we are here to offer our commitment that Ndigbo will stand shoulder to shoulder with you on this mission to reconstruct our nation.

“We are also aware that our cry of marginalization is not unique to our region, but ours stands out as an SOS case as a region criminally neglected and abandoned by the outgoing administration.
During your campaign tours, you saw things for yourself and needless reminding Your Excellency that South-east is an emergency case. You drove through the badly neglected and impassable Enugu - Awka-Onitsha Expressway and the Enugu - Umuahia-Aba Expressway, needless to mention the Oba-Okigwe Highway.

“Contrary to the election claims by the outgoing administration, no appreciable work is going on these roads, information has shown that no financial arrangement has been firmed up for the Second Nigeria Bridge. The Oputa Panel report has been gathering dust and Ndigbo have pleaded for the re-visitation of the so-called abandoned property in Nigeria and its collateral reparation demand. One common denominator is that unknown to a vast majority of Nigerians, Ndigbo were the silent majority supporters of General Muhammed Buhari, GMB, but a twist of “what is wrong with Nigerian” electoral result cannot prove it.”
