Chief Edwin Clark, the head of the Ijaw Nation, has charged that the administration of Bola Tinubu is discriminating against and committing injustices against the Igbo people.
In a letter to Tinubu, Clark disclosed this. He underlined that Tinubu’s administration has not lessened the prejudice against Igbos that existed during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Even though Tinubu named ten ministers from the Southwest, he emphasised that only six had been selected from the Southeast, and he added that there was no excuse for the exclusion.

“Mr. Tinubu, even in your administration, the discrimination and injustice against the Igbos have not abated,” is part of the letter he wrote to Tinubu.
” The old Eastern Region and the old Western Region, to which I belonged, were equal competitors and partners before and during the First and Second Republics, but today, you have appointed 10 Yorubas as ministers from the South-West and only five ministers from the South-East, and you even failed to give them the ministerial appointment due to their region that would have made it six ministers.
” There is no justification for this grave omission and no effort has been made to correct it”.
Clark, on the other hand, urged South-Easterners to take a position and properly, sensibly, and democratically demand their rights in order to profit like any other Nigerian, just as they were prior to the 1967 civil war.
