Former Minister of Education and Health, Professor Ihechukwu Madubuike, has said that Igbo people will no longer beg for political positions in Nigeria.
The elder statesman was reacting to the non-inclusion of any Igbo in the Inauguration Committee of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking in an interview on Sunday, Madubuike said, “We are not going to beg anybody to do what we think is just and right. No!
“We are tired of begging in a country that we are serious stakeholders especially when we know we are bringing something to table.
“Nigeria’s rejection of the Igbo is her loss because we have talents that are marketable.”
He said that Ndigbo had suffered enough marginalisation in Nigeria and had adjusted their minds to their fate expressing confidence that better days are on the horizon.
“We have endured marginalization for over a century now. So, we just need to get our loins guarded as we strategise, and plan for better days which must surely come,” he said.
