Buhari should change his attitude towards people from South-East – Senator Utazi

Senator Chukwuka Utazi has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to change his attitude towards the people of the south-east region.

The lawmaker in an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday October 5 alleged that the President talks down on the people of the region

He advised the Nigerian leader to engage stakeholders to address whatever grievances that may be on. “I want to tell you that Mr President has the magic wand. His attitude, language to the South-East, he has to change it. The temperature is high. The way he talks down on our people is not good, he said

When asked if an Igbo presidency in 2023 would fix the problem, the senator neither supported or opposed it, he said; “I have said it times without number that changing the Hausa-Fulani cap with red cap does not address the issue. There are fundamental things you need to address. He has to come out and address the Igbos in the language they understand.”

Maintaining that Buhari is a president of every Nigerian including the Igbo-speaking people, he stated that once he devotes time to addressing the easterners, the agitations would come to an end.
