Popular Anambra-based cleric, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, widely known as Odumeje, has criticised the Federal Government for not allocating any international airport or seaport to the Southeast despite the Igbos being the country’s foremost traders.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Odumeje claimed that Nigeria has done “a lot of damages” to the Igbos, warning that if Igbo people don’t fight for their rights now, their children will question them in the future.
The cleric said it is unfair for embassies and consulates to be in the North and Southwest while the East has none despite being actively involved in international trade.
He also criticised the new seaport approved for Ogun State, arguing that Ogun indigenes were not as much into business like the Igbo and that the Southeast deserved it more.
He said, “Nigeria has done a lot of damages to Igbo people. We have embassies and international airports and sea ports in Lagos and in the North but none in Igbo land.
It is the Federal Government that approves embassies, international airports, seaports. What have we done?
“A new seaport has been approved for Ogun. Are Ogun state people business people? Igbo people are the business people,” Odumeje lamented.
