Fuel scarcity, closure of airport, deliberate FG policies to impoverish Igbos – Ohanaeze

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said the ongoing fuel scarcity in the country and the decision of the Federal Government to “close our airport” are deliberate policies aimed at impoverishing the Igbos.
In a statement on Saturday by its President, John Nnia Nwodo, Ohanaeze Ndigbo warned against any deliberate policy ti undermine the economy of Ndigbo.
The statement said: “They (FG) know that at this period in the year, Ndigbo people travel a lot to their homeland.
“That’s when the government chose to close our airport, that’s when they allow fuel shortage; this is very unfair and insensitive.
“It’s a deliberate policy of impoverishing our people to ensure that whatever wealth our sons and daughters bring home during Christmas is expended on fuel, leaving none for investment.”
Nwodo urged Ndigbo not to allow the hardship caused by the “anti-people policy” of the current administration to discourage them.
He said: “The unfolding events in the country, especially as it relates to Ndigbo, since this administration came to power, underscores the imperatives for our people to think about home in their wealth generation.”
