The Ohanaeze President – General, who spoke recently in a statement, as reported by the Punch newspaper, while decrying the decision by the president, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to appoint only 5 ministers from the South East, declared; “… Our (South East) political power has been reduced as we have a few senators… Governors, House of Assembly and Local Governments.”

Chief Iwuanyanwu, who also pointed out that the region had been denied their due federal revenue due to the fact that they only had 5 states instead of at least six or more, went further to demand for justice and equity for the Igbos.
