“The Igbo should explain what they mean by marginalization. Who is marginalizing them? I contested and won my election and I appointed the right people into my government.

“If they feel marginalized, who is the Minister of Petroleum, who is the Minister for Labour, what about Science and Technology.

“Do you know the level of atrocities the Kanu of Biafra has committed? This man came into the country with sophisticated weapons. This is a man who has two passports. One Nigerian passport and British.
