The apex Igbo socio-cultural
organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has stated that it is working for a
Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in no distant time.
The
President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Anambra, Mr Damian Okeke-Ogene, who
made this statement on Tuesday, said the Chief Nnia Nwodo-led executive
of the organization would look into many problems facing the south east
geopolitical zone, including producing a Nigerian President of Igbo
extraction. He said, “This present Ohanaeze is not the one you used
to know; the executive of Ohanaeze is ready to pursue Igbo agenda of
which the Igbo presidency is part of it.
“The Ohanaeze president is consulting widely with the different tribes and ethnic groupings in the country. “By
the time he is done, other parts of Nigeria will know the need to fully
integrate the Igbos into the main stream of Nigerian politics.
“What he is doing at the moment is to restore the dignity and values of Igbo nation.”
He added that Ohanaeze leadership was all hands on deck for peace and unity among Igbo brethren.
On
the recent fire outbreak in Onitsha, the president advised Governor
Willie Obiano to start considering the value of lives and property
before granting licences for the construction of filling stations.
“The
state government should deploy the services of vehicle inspection
officers to ensure their roadworthiness and fitness of the drivers,” he
said.
