UMUAHIA — FOLLOWING the incessant
killing if Ndi Igbo in some parts of the
North, Abia State governor, Theodore
Orji, has advised Igbo resident in that
part of the country to come home if they
were no longer wanted by their host
communities.
Governor Orji’s position was prompted
by the latest motor park bombing in
Kano which caused the death of scores
of Ndi Igbo.
According to him, if Ndigbo are
continuously being killed in the North, it
meant that they were not accepted and
the best option for them was to think
home where their safety was
guaranteed.
He said: “No sane person will continue
living in an atmosphere where his life is
at stake.”
He pointed out that home remained the
most comfortable place for anyone
whose life was in danger.
Governor Orji also spoke on the death of
Prof. Chinua Achebe, saying though he
was a respected Igbo son, his death had
not created political leadership vacuum
for Ndi Igbo because he was not a
political leader of Ndi Igbo but a literary
icon.
The governor maintained that Ndi Igbo
still had leaders but noted that the
problem of Ndigbo was who to
galvanise the rest of the people and give
them focus.
Orji, however, said that if Ndigbo could
choose a credible leader and rally round
him, the region would forge ahead.
