Maxwell Opara, a lawyer, has spoken about President Tinubu and his connection to the Igbos.
In a video shared by AIT from 2:37:02, Opara alleged that Tinubu’s wife, whose mother is from Delta State, has Igbo roots. He said many people expect that Tinubu who is a democrat and has close ties to Igbos will be supportive of the Igbo people. He also said people hope that Tinubu will treat Igbos better than former President Buhari did.
Opara said Tinubu’s connection to the Igbo community through his wife should translate into better support and representation for Igbos in the country.
In Maxwell Opara’s words: “We thought that Tinubu is a democrat who is even married from Igbo. His wife is from Delta, they are Igbos. Forget about what they are claiming, they are Igbos. You can’t tell me that you are not Igbo and you are answering Emeka”
