BMO lashes out at Ezekwesili for criticising Buhari and demanding that Nigeria or IPOB be chosen.
Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, has come under fire from the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) for repeatedly criticising President Muhammadu Buhari.
BMO claimed that when she addresses Buhari, it has become customary for her to spew "a noxious chemistry of bad mouthing and ill-mannered pontification" into the public sphere.
What is "more intriguing is her determination to express her opinion in the most vain manner," Chairman Niyi Akinsiju said in a statement on Saturday.
According to BMO, residents of the South-East expected regional leaders to denounce the killings of two American Consulate employees in Anambra, but "Ezekesili decided to resort to attacking the President."
Her decision to remain silent following the attack, according to the Nigerian leader's media team, "is clearly indicative of barefaced subterfuge."
Ezekwesili should state her allegiance, jokingly saying, "Is it to the good people of Nigeria or to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN)?"
It "smacks of the hypocrisy of desperately wanting to take out the speck in the other person's eye," he added of the former World Bank Vice President's actions.
The BMO advised Ezekwesili that the Buhari administration had achieved progress against banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, etc. in recent years.
In the statement, it was stated that "even in the South East, we daily count the numbers of IPOB/ESN operatives either neutralised or arrested by security personnel."
Following the assault on the US Embassy workers that week, former presidential aide Reno Omokri accused Ezekwesili of bias.
When Deborah Samuel was assassinated in Sokoto State, the social critic claimed that the financial expert just needed "less than an hour to enter the streets and dance naked."
