Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, elder statesman and First
Republic Minister at the weekend said the
marginalisation of the Igbo is real and they are marked
out for elimination by the present administration.
He however expressed optimism that the Igbos are like
beetles that cannot be crushed. According to him, if the
Igbos can survive the Biafra war, then they can survive
anything.
“The Igbo are marked out for elimination in this country
particularly by the present administration of the North.
But the Igbo are like the beetle, they cannot be crushed”.
You march on the beetle and when you remove your
heavy boot, the beetle keeps going. The Igbo will keep
going, we fought 33 months civil war without anything
against the whole world and survived, and we fought the
whole Arab world for 33 months and survived, so the
Igbo will survive again”.
