In a series of tweets apparently directed at Mr. Buhari, the the
former education minister, and co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls
Campaign said all Nigerians must be carried along by the Nigerian
president for peace to reign.
This is believed to be her own reaction to the recent siege by
Nigerian Army on the hometown of the leader of the Indigenous People Of
Biafra, IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, as well as assault on journalists. The
Army has since apologised for the assault on the journalists.
Mrs. Ezekwesili said a ”leader of a country cannot be friends with
only those he/she likes, a leader builds up groups and not divides.”
She went further to say, “you cannot lead only those who worship and
swear by you. You are the leader. You must carry the burden even of
those that detest you.”
Speaking directly to the president, she said, “It is tragic that you,
OUR President has deliberated or inadvertently ALIENATED a SEGMENT of
the PEOPLE YOU LEAD. It is TRAGIC.”
“President Buhari, it is NOT YET TOO LATE for YOU to ASCEND that
MORAL HIGH GROUND and BOUND WITH ALL YOUR PEOPLE – EAST, WEST, NORTH,
SOUTH.”
“Do not alienate the entire Igbo ethnic group cos of a few that
government can use appropriate mechanisms to respond to any misconduct.”
