Name Aso Rock after Queen Elizabeth not UNN – Ohanaeze tells FG

The apex socio-cultural organisation in Igbo land, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has told the Federal Government to name Aso Rock in Abuja after Queen Elizabeth and not University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu State.

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that former presidential aspirant of the Young Progressives Party, Adamu Garba, had, on Friday, advised President Muhammadu Buhari to immortalise Queen Elizabeth by renaming the UNN after her.

But reacting, Chidi Ibeh-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, in a statement said such remark was capable of instigating conflict in the country.

Isiguzoro must tender apology to Ndigbo for making such unhistorical remark.

The statement read, “The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has cautioned the Federal Government against renaming the foremost and most prestigious University, the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the late British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

“The University has bequeathed a legacy in south-eastern Nigeria and it’s worthwhile for the former APC presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba to know that the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, Abia State, was renamed after the late British monarch, and is known as Queen Elizabeth Medical Centre, Umuahia, yet Nigerians have yet to see the late Queen Elizabeth’s legacies in northern Nigeria. It’s appropriate for the North to have a fair share of the Queen’s legacy.

“If the Federal Government and the Presidency wish to immortalise late Queen Elizabeth II, it should look at the role of the Queen in granting Nigeria political freedom and independence on October 1, 1960. And the most appropriate place to show gratitude to Great Britain should be at Aso Rock.

FG should fund her universities and stop ASUU strike.

Nigeria really get big problem changing the name aso to queen Elizabeth is useless

Okay

Wrong. Why should Ohaneze descend this low by responding to him.

It is not useless, it is a way of showing gratitude to the British monarchy. The British monarchy is largely responsible for the existence and unity of Nigeria today. Nigeria should reciprocate by namin aso rock Queen Elizabeth rock or Rock Elizabeth

Ohanaze should stop responding to utterances of cows .. it just doesn't make sense

It is better for FG to rename Lagos airport after queen Elizabeth.

Even if they change the name of UNN to saint Elizabeth (lol) nothing will happen apart from the normal chest beating. But then there's no reason for any of the institutes to be named after the queen. The British won't descend so low to name any of their institute with any Nigerian name attached to it no matter their achievements. So allow Eli dey where she dey and focus on what matters to Nigerians now.

That Garba sef dey on high drugs. He's the aide wike dey use style talk

Who want the useless unity

I don't know what to say about this. But I do not like the idea of renaming the seat of power of our country after a foreigner.
What about renaming it WAZOBIA to symbolize our unity??
