'BUHARI'S GOVERNMENT IS CHRONICALLY SICK'- Igbo forum on warrant for Saraki's arrest.

A South-East group, Njiko Igbo Forum, Friday, described the recent developments in Nigeria’s polity as
a clear indication that the country is sick.
President of the Forum, Rev. Okechukwu Obioha, who spoke in an
exclusive interview with DAILY POST said the order for arrest of
the Senate President, Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct
Tribunal, CCB, had exposed the desperate attempt by the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led government to foist its will on Nigerians.
Okechukwu, who described it as a welcome development in the
polity, said the crisis was one of the prices the present
administration would pay for excluding the South-East from the
three tiers of government.
He noted that he had earlier warned that the “orchestrated attempt
by the northern leaders, particularly, President Buhari to exclude
Ndigbo from the three arms of government, had made this country
to be sick.
“The South-East is an integral part, a major partner in this project
called Nigeria; because he has sidelined the region deliberately
without recourse to the Federal Character, which is in the
constitution, the polity is now reaping the fruit of that problem. So,
this government has been sick and with what is happening now,
the ailment has become chronic.”
While accusing the Buhari-led government of being insincere with
the war against corruption, the Igbo group wondered why the CCB
went to the archives and brought a matter against Saraki “simply
because the election of the principal officers of the National
Assembly went against the wishes of powers that be”.
“The CCB has been sleeping over the years; but because this
government is lawless, it is not using the CCB to cut its pound of
flesh from Saraki.”
“The lawlessness also stems from the fact that the attorney
general is yet to be appointed; so who is prosecuting Saraki; who
has designated the person that is prosecuting Saraki?” he queried.
Okechukwu, who equally faulted Saraki for approaching a High
Court, which he said was a court of cognate jurisdiction with the
CCB, further stated that “there are two illegalities going on; the
country cannot progress, the 8th assembly will go into fiasco, it
cannot stand”.
He maintained that the only solution was to right the wrongs
against Ndigbo by “picking the Speaker of House of Reps from the
zone; that is the only antidote.”
