Buhari: Why IPOB Hate Ex-President So Much Even After His Death

The negative sentiments towards former President Muhammadu Buhari from many South Eastern Nigerians remain notable, even following his recent death on Sunday.

Despite the somber nature of this event, some individuals, particularly those from the Igbo community, have expressed their grievances through various messages.

During Buhari’s presidency, there were widespread perceptions that his policies were detrimental to the South East region. Critics highlight a lack of significant appointments and developmental initiatives that would benefit the area.

One aspect that particularly incited discontent was his handling of the Nnamdi Kanu situation, which many felt cast a shadow over his relationship with the Igbo people.

Furthermore, despite Imo State’s support for Buhari during his reelection—where it delivered the highest number of votes for him in the South East and produced the region’s first APC Senator—there was disappointment regarding the ministerial appointments. The only position allocated to a minister from Imo was a junior ministerial role, which many viewed as inadequate given the state’s contributions.

Additionally, Buhari, like his predecessors, maintained a firm stance against discussions around secession, often reiterating his commitment to national unity. This has contributed to the feeling of disenfranchisement among certain groups in the South East, illustrating the complex political landscape of Nigeria.

Buhar’s death has been strolling but some Nigerians particularly by some Igbo indigenes saying and writing different of negative messages about the ex-president who died in London.

Some South eastern indigenes believed that Buhari’s anti-Igbo during his reign as Nigeria’s president with no concrete appointment or any major things being done in the region.

One of the worst things the igbos believed Buharid had done for region was his poor handling of the Nnamdi Kanu issue which has insultingly placed him as a leader of the Igbos in some way.

And some people even insult the Igbo by comparing him with revered Ikemba Ojukwu and Azikiwe!

Another factor could be that in during his reelection, Imo State gave the former president the highest number of votes ever in the Southeast, the State also boasts of having delivered the first ever APC Senator from the Southeast and it is being governed by an APC governor who is also the chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, yet the ex-president only gave the minister from this same state a junior ministerial position.

There is no doubt that Buhari like his predecessors does not want any discussion on the secession of any part of the country and he has repeatedly said that.

On social media after Buhari was announced dead, a Nigerian man typically described as Igbo indigene, Gauis Chibueze, who criticised former president Muhammadu Buhari after the latter died, lost his father a few hours later.

In an earlier X post, he stated that Buhari was a “terrible” president for what he did to Nigeria.

A few hours later, he posted on his page, @gaiuschibueze, that he had lost his father minutes ago, sharing memories they had together.

His earlier post, shared on July 14 at 12:34 am, read:

“Buhari was a very terrible president. We must not pretend now! May his soul get what he did to Nigeria.”

At 3:59pm on the same day, he wrote:

“A Few Minutes Ago, My Father Passed Away in His Home in Enugu State. I am comforted by the memories like when I was just 5 years old, and he was already teaching me how to read the Bible and preach from house to house as a Jehovah’s Witness.”

He went on to share memories they had together while he was growing up.

As he faced criticism for his father’s death, Chibueze shared another post to defend his opinion on Buhari.

He said: “Buhari is still a terrible president. Read well, my Father died telling the truth till the end. My Father is an Honorable Man and died with His integrity intact lol. I didn’t celebrate Buhari’s death because it doesn’t benefit me, but I still insist that Buhari was a terrible president who ruined Nigeria and the lives of millions of Nigerians.

“People like Buhari are the reasons my father died because they can’t do common, simple, deep brain surgery or change a battery anywhere in Nigeria, so I have only one option: to fly him out. Yes, I repeat, Buhari destroyed Nigeria.

“Buhari died in a London Hospital because he didn’t build A hospital he and his family could trust to use in Nigeria after 8 years. My father died because no single hospital in Nigeria does simple Deep Brain Surgery for Parkinson’s or replace the battery in his chest.”
