He stated, “Marginalisation has a means of manufacturing outcomes and you’ll agree with me that majority of the persons are poor and marginalised.

“Whenever you inform them what they need to hear, these poor marginalized folks will observe you; however Nnamdi Kanu isn’t getting it proper as a result of he has subscribed to violence as a means and has not restricted it to Igbo leaders.

“He has attacked Asiwaju in Lagos, Ekweremadu, Rotimi Amaechi; he has threatened to kill Igbo leaders and governors so he not solely attacking outsiders; he’s additionally attacking his Igbo brothers and sisters.

“The purpose I’m making is that we should consciously take Nnamdi Kanu and put him the place he belongs. He’s not an Igbo chief and can’t communicate for Ndigbo.

“Igbos don’t subscribe to violence, anarchy, or destruction of lives and properties; that is my argument. Igbos are keen to reside in concord with different tribes in Nigeria.

“Igbos are saying 50 years after the battle, enable an Igbo man to occupy the Presidency. Jonathan dominated for six years and Nigeria didn’t disappear; Yorubas have been in energy, the North has dominated, now enable the Igbo. Should you give them the presidency will they’ve another argument tomorrow? Will they are saying Nigeria is marginalizing them? The reply isn’t any as a result of folks will ask they had been within the presidency for eight years what did they do with it.

“Kanu’s agitation will definitely to a big extent have an effect on our possibilities. Nnamdi Kanu’s agitations, pronouncements, actions, omissions and commissions have an effect on us in somehow.

“He’s stopping voters’ registration in Igbo land, he’s asking supporters to destroy their PVC. So, aside from the truth that Nigeria wants us to some extent, they mirror us by Nnamdi Kanu’s actions.
