He noted that several years after the civil war, the people of the South-East were still being treated as the vanquished. “From the days of Sure-P of the Obasanjo administration to the Buhari-led government, all other rail lines and even new ones, particularly that of the Katsina to Niger were constructed and made operational, except that of the Eastern Corridors running from Port-Harcourt to Enugu and then Makurdi – Maiduguri,” he said.
Obioha added that “the war is still on and as far as the average Igbo is concerned, the struggle to survive still continues unabated.Obioha’s claim is coming amid protest from the people of the region over the number of ministerial slots given to the zone by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
