Ohanaeze to Buhari: Igbo desire platform to contribute our best to Nigeria’s growth

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Igbo socio-cultural organisation, says the people of the south-east are committed to Nigeria’s growth.

George Obiozor, the president-general of the group, said this on Tuesday during a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Imo.

TheCable had reported that Buhari was in Imo on Tuesday to inaugurate the 36km dualised Owerri-Orlu road, Owerri-Okigwe road, and the reconstructed Imo house of assembly complex.

Obiozor said the Igbo people also seek justice and fairness and a platform where they can contribute their quota to Nigeria’s development.

“I wish to reiterate and speak on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, both at home and in the diaspora, that our people are committed to the Nigerian project, that we desire a country that provides a platform, and an opportunity to contribute our utmost best to the growth of our fatherland,” Obiozor said.

“We seek justice, equity, fairness, and going by our antecedents, we are in every part of Nigeria and therefore claim to be the most federating of all Nigerians.”
