Igbo world Union commends Buhari’s administration

AS divergent views continue to spring up on the administration of President Muhammad Buhari and the place of Ndigbo in the nation, Igbo World Union has described Buhari’s administration as the best thing that has ever happened to the Igbo people.

The organisation which said it was behind  the President, insisted that what he was doing was to cause Ndigbo to wake up from their slumber and regain their rightful place in the country.

Speaking at Gburugburu Ndi Igbo third Dum’s compound, Umuajata-Olokoro, Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State, during the Ofala festival, the initiator and founder of Igbo World Union (IWU)  Mishak Nnanta, charged Ndigbo on the need to accord Buhari the maximum cooperation and harmonious understanding as they did to the past leaders, especially in his to change the psyche of Nigerians through the ethos called “Change Begins With Me.”

Nnanta advised governors from the South-East to put politics aside and work in harmony for the progress, growth and development of the region.

He said, “Igbo are yet to reach their eldorado, even though we are the first son of Nigeria. Our problems is in our hands. We should shun disintegration. We should move and sue for unity. If we insist we want to leave this country, who do we leave Nigeria for?”

He said the last two decades witnessed the decline/near abandonment of Igbo cultures and ethics, even the Igbo language was not spared “that the United Nation Education and Research Centre was alarmed to alert of the impending annihilation/extinction of Igbo language, come 2050”.

He said, “ethics of good moral conduct and decent dressing have been thrown into the dustbin, only to imbibe foreign cultures of near naked dressing, homosexuality, bestiality, lesbianism and gay marriage  IWU as a sociocultural organisation upholding and championing the preservation and promotion of Igbo ethics and culture is bent on reversing these negative trends through the revival of our ethics, language, and cultural heritages, so that future generations will have a lingual, ethical and cultural database reference to fall back on,” he said.

“IWU also aim to showcase Ndigbo, her customs, cultural heritage and the Igbo people’s legendary hospitality to the world with a grand view of repositioning Ndigbo and Nigeria through same by attracting dignitaries and investors from around the globe, thereby opening a whole new vista for Ndigbo and Nigeria.”

Nnanta informed the public that IWU has succeeded in establishing Igbo schools in some parts of the country.
