Nigeria must apologise to the South-East over Buhari —Igbo youths
A group from South-East, Igbo Youth Movement (IYM), has said that the people of the region have been vindicated for rejecting to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
The group said that the action of Ndigbo was vindicated by the massive defections of members of the National Assembly from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
IYM therefore called on Nigerians to apologise to Ndigbo for mocking them after they refused to vote for Buhari in 2015.
The founder of IYM, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, stated this in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen in Enugu on Wednesday.
“Nigerians must apologise to the South East for their inate wisdom in the voting choice they made in 2015 elections.
“All those who mocked Ndigbo then can see from the current defections in the National Assembly, NASS, Tuesday, that Ndigbo were right all along.

“The South East simply made a smart choice in 2015.The rest needed three horrible years of bariccading of homes of judges,senators among others to discover that Ndigbo were right all along in their voting pattern of 2015.
“Now the scales have fallen off everybody’s eyes,we are waiting for the apology. Remember they mocked us for putting our eggs in one basket. They decamped back to the basket. They simply couldn’t see what Ndigbo saw in 2015,” he said.
