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.
