Leverage your unity, construct pathway towards political liberation ― Ikpeazu tells Ndigbo

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has called on Ndigbo to leverage their unity, compromise and understanding to craft and construct a pathway towards their political liberation.

Ikpeazu made this call yesterday when he played host to the leadership of a pan-Igbo political Organization, Nzuko Umunna, led by Nze Ozichukwu Chukwu and Iyom Josephine Anenih.

Ikpeazu was of the view that Igbos should not spend time-fighting themselves but rather forge a common front for their future in Nigeria.

The governor noted the need for Ndigbo to reflect on their relationship with other ethnic groups in the country, stating that there was a deliberate attempt by powers that be to deny Ndigbo the opportunity to superintendent over the affairs of the country.

He recalled that the Igbos have made immense contributions to national development as they are found in every part of Nigeria but regretted that the conspiracy around the Igbos was very grave.

Time, he said has come for Igbos to become intentional about their strategic disposition in Nigeria and therefore should expand conversations around the issue with a view to strengthening their relationship with other ethnic groups across the country and assured the delegates of Nzuko Umunna that he would do everything to support their Initiatives.

Earlier in his speech, the leader of the delegation Nze Ozichukwu Chukwu said their visit to the governor was to further discuss with him the way forward for Ndigbo, adding that it was time for Ndi Igbo to come together.

He explained that Nzuko Umunna is a political but not partisan organisation

Chukwu lauded Ikpeazu for congratulating the Abia State Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti on his victory as well as urging other candidates not to distract him with court litigations.
