Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has accused the Nigerian government of doing damage to the Igbo people while questioning the lack of major infrastructure in the South East compared to other regions.

The cleric expressed concern over the distribution of key infrastructure across the country, citing international airports, embassies and seaports as examples of projects he believes have benefited other regions more than the South East.

“Business people is Igbo people. Nigeria has done a lot of damages to Igbo people,” Odumeje said.

He also questioned why the federal government was reportedly planning a seaport in Ogun State, arguing that the Igbo people are known for their business activities.

“Seaport was signed for Lagos. The seaport signed by federal government. Even I think there’s a new one that the new government to sign now. Ogun State. Why are they signing it in Ogun State? Ogun State, are they business people?” he asked.

Odumeje further called on the older generation to consider what they would leave behind for their children, stressing the need to speak up for their rights.

“We are fathers. We are no more boys, and we can’t live here forever, and our children will question us: What have we done for their rights?” he said.

He also argued that while other parts of the country have international airports and embassies, the South East lacks comparable facilities, raising questions about the region’s access to major infrastructure projects.
