Nigeria's former labour leader and the immediate past governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhonle has said the level of poverty among the Igbos is not different from the level of povert among the Hausas or the Yorubas.
He stated this while speaking at the first Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia Memorial lecture, tagged, “Nation Building and Development in Nigeria,” organised by the University of Abuja.
The former labour leader lampooned Nigeria's past military leaders for the problem plaguing the country.
According to the former labour leader, these military men having ruled and superintended over Nigeria for more than three decades, now in civilian uniforms are going about criticizing governments.
“Once our elites are out of government, they bring down the bridges of government. Our old elites have no right having messed up yesterday.”
He said, “The task of nation building must not be compromised by our elites who have benefitted from Nigeria through education and more.
“These old men have no right, having messed up your yesterday and responsible for the confusion of today, they have no right to divert your attention to a feasible Nigeria for posterity.”
The Nigerian people according to him, are united by poverty, adding that “The poverty in Igbo is the same poverty in the north, the poverty in the east is the same poverty in the west, but when it comes to sharing money there is no Igbo, Yoruba or Hausas among them, they are united in looting.”
Oshiomhole also flayed calls for Nigeria’s restructuring saying, “we only need to restructure and redistribute wealth in our country.”
