$22.7bn foreign loan: Buhari exhibiting apartheid policy by excluding Igbos, Edo – HURIWA
HURIWA made the remark while insisting that the exclusion violates Section 42 of Nigeria’s constitution.
“The exclusion of another 5 million citizens of over 20 ethnic nationalities from Edo state stands absolutely condemnable. We believe that this policy is akin to the apartheid white minority rule that was practiced in South Africa prior to the current majority rule of the blacks.
“And more shocking is the fact that the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts, Clifford Ordia, which processed the loan request and recommended its approval, represents Edo Central. Others are: Kaduna State economic transformation programme for results ; National Information and Communication Technology Infrastructural Backbone Project phase II ; Health System Project ; Rural water supply and sanitation ; and development of the mining industry .
