Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has urged Igbos to reject any claims that they were being marginalised by the current government, insisting that the present hardship is the product of “intrinsically corrupt past political” activities.
Father Mbaka lamented that the state of Nigerian roads were really bad, adding that by the end of the year, Nigerians will know the people that looted the funds.
He said this in a recently released video message.
He said: “All the money voted for road constructions were swindled, eaten. Many of them became millionaires and billionaires in Naira, in Dollars, in Pounds, in Euro. Billionaires, when they have no workshop, no business centre. Somebody who has nothing he’s doing, yet he’s a billionaire, because he’s a politician.”
“Many of you were intimidated and you will say what they want you to say,” he added.
“But that is not the case. It is my job to put your mind right. When anybody want you to say that Igbos are marginalized, don’t believe it.
“The Igbos in the north are doing well, and the northern people are not chasing them away. The Igbos in the Yoruba land, go to Idumota, go to Alaba, Ladipo and so on, they are treated with utter hospitality, with innovative kindness. The Yoruba people are not fighting the Igbo people, so why are we evolving a war that does not exist.
“And as I said in the former message, those who are engineering this have their children abroad and they want to use our youths, unemployed and say come out of the road and begin to walk around, that Igbos are marginalized. Our roads were not done. By the end of this year, you will know who ate the money of these roads.”
