A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Paul Ikonne, has described the reception accorded President Muhammadu Buhari in United States of America as a clear indication that Nigeria is no longer viewed from the negative point, but ranked among the honourable nations of the world.

Ikonne was speaking to newsmen in Enugu after a meeting of a Committee of Six Persons, of which he is a member, set up to organise a maiden meeting of World Igbo conference.

He called on the Igbo to support the Buhari’s administration, adding that soon, positive results of his visit would begin to unfold.

He congratulated the president for what he described as successful trip to the United States, expressing happiness over his recognition by the international community.

Speaking on the nature of the conference, Ikonne said their mandate was to ensure that all Igbo stakeholders were consulted on the plan to hold the World Igbo conference.

He said the conference was a concept of Igbo stakeholders that would come together to deliberate on how to move the Igbo nation forward.

According to him, the committee had been making consultations with different stakeholders across Igbo land, with the mandate to bring Igbo together to seek a way forward politically, economically and socially.

He recalled a courtesy call the committee paid to one of the Igbo sons, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, during one of their consultations, describing Onu as the rallying point of the Igbo.

On why they visited Onu first, Ikonne said it was because he had been rated as an outstanding Igbo personality, who could be seen as a symbol of Igbo identity and integrity.
